Spool time may be a problem on an LS engine with that big of a turbo....I think you're looking at 5000-5500ish 'til you reach full...I think most LS guys run t3/t4b .48 AR

250whp should be fairly easy with stock internals.

so a t04b will spool faster, but wont make as much power as t04E compressor would? is what it sounds like your saying?

Man, If I were you I wouldn't get the T3/T4 hybrid. It does take a long time to spool. With my F23 engine(stock with 140 hp 140 Tq) full boost comes in at 4,000 rpms. Any rpm below that is SLOW as hell. Its bearable on my engine...I just need to learn to keep revs up...but your engine is smaller...i dunno.
