Default t3 super 60 vs t3/t4

I have been trying to choose a turbo for my ls for some time now and i think i've narrowed it down. My hp goal is 250whp and my 1/4 mile goal is low 13's high 12's.

Which would work best for my application? a t3 super 60 with a .63 a/r or a t3/t4 with a .57 trim and .50 a/r compressor .63 a/r turbine?

O and please don't direct me to the ls-t thread, i've already read through a lot of it

for 250whp at a low psi on pump gas do the t3/to4e.... the t3 maxes out around 300whp so you are really pushing it at higher boost levels

how would boost response be on an ls with a t3/t04e? and what trim would you recommend?

A t3 would work fine, but I would go with a t3/t4 because you will want more power eventually.

57 trim flows the best
