Unless you plan on going for over 1000hp and purely as a drag truck, skip the T6.
My truck was more fun driving around town with the small T4 475, but was a monster with the big T6 once it lit off.
Mind you, I could still go 10.80s with the baby turbo, was just maxed out there.
Either way, you'll make way more power with the turbo over the blower, but the larger you go on the turbo the worse that lag is going to be.

I'm not sure a turbo is going to be at its best without loosening the converter just a bit because its not making nearly as much torque in that range. A 75 shot would take care of that as well. Personally I love the setup you've got unless you just have to go 10's with a 6000 lb truck.

I won't loosen the converter, I'll see how the blower is at full tilt on the new motor before I decide.

I've actually sprayed 150 @ 2000 rpm a bunch of times with no ill effects on a cast piston cammed 350. Torque at that rpm was a bit much! Risky and I know its def not recommended but hey, sometimes you just have to test the waters lol.

I have messed with matchbot, its pretty cool.
Having had both a decent turbo setup (1100hp) and a decent blower setup (650hp, 800 with sauce), the blower is certainly less maintenance and more fun to drive, at low speeds. There is a certain fun factor with the turbo though when it gets going and you are hanging on for dear life when you punch it at 80mph and it just doesnt stop pulling
