Default Top mount or Ramhorn

Hey guys need some good advice. I'm trying to decide which manifold I should go with this is my build:

Head: B16
Stock port/no port work
Stock b17 camshafts
GE gears
Supertech 85lbs dual valve springs
Ferrea 5000 series flat face valves o.e size
Edlebrock victor x

Block: 81.5mm Gsr
Ls crank
Ls Manley rods
Ls Wiesco pistons 9.7:1

The turbo I'm using is a precision 6262 .70 a/r cold .82 a/r hot T3 housing. Everything is pretty much together, just taking my time. Also I didnt list everything like fuel, other supporting mods, etc, I'm pretty sure those are not needed to get an answer. I pretty much have the general idea that top mounts help spool bigger turbos quicker but for my case I don't see a justified reason on a medium size one, especially since I'll only be going for ~650 after making the proper changes. For now I'm aiming for 400-460whp I might even go over 550 later down the road as this is a street car and probably either be competing (for fun) in either 11.50 or 10.5 index class. Thanks for any info
