Default boosting an ls, help me pick a snail

so after recently getting my little d15 boosted ive decided i want something bigger so i invested in an ls swap.

setup includes 3" turbo back no res no muffler, log mani, 2" hot pipes, 6" drag fmic, 2.5" cold pipes... i want to make somewhere around 260whp

car will be daily driven so i was debating on a .60 .63 t3, i want full spool around 3500rpm or so. also thought about a t3/to4e .50 .63.

any suggestions?

sc61 perfect turbo in my opinion, even after mine broke I got it replaced. its still a nice street turbo for a ls/vtec setup

kinda looking * &gt; $500 range, low budget project here and also will pick up something used/needs rebuild

i dont want something super large, im pretty sure im just going to see what comes up between a .60 .63 t3 and a t3/to4e even though they are fairly different.

any last bits of input?

i mean i dotn wanna pay 500 for something that needs rebuilding, maybe 250 at the most... idk. ive seen people actually use .48 .60s on stock ls and put out ~220whp on 8psi... there is a turbo t bird i can yank the snail off for probably 100, then $130 or so for blaastperformance to rebuild. i wonder if ill get lucky and have it be the .60 .63 on there. its 5spd didnt they have the bigger ones?
