Default Which turbo is right for me?

Ive searched and searched to no avail, and was hoping you guys could help me out. I have an ls engine that im building up, will be stock bore, je pistons with eagle rods, about 8.9:1 cr, 440cc injectors, and so on. Im trying to find a turbo that will:

A. Spool up relatively early ~3-3.5k
B. Pull until redline (I wont be going over the stock 6.5k)
C. Be good for at least 300WHP

Any help would be much appreciated, I am so confused by compressor maps and all, all I need now is to pick the right turbo then I can boost. Thanks in advance!!!

T3/T4 would be the one you want then.

I change my mind.....
I'm not too familiar with Precision turbos, but that thing can push some major HP numbers, and its at a good price
