Default Help choosing turbo

Well I am loosing my deer lease after this year so I am going to have more time and money to dedicate to the truck so its time to get to work on it.

I was kicking around doing a twin set up on my truck but have decided to stick with a single. I originally was thinking about doing a Precision 76/75 but now I am leaning towards a BW turbo.

It is going on a 9.5:1 370 with AFR 225cc heads, It has a GT2-3 cam in it now but I will more than likely change that out, built 4L80 with 3200 stall, and undecided rear gear set. More than likely will have either 3.73 or 3.42 on around a 29 inch tire.

The truck will mostly be for the street. My goals with it are 700 pump gas with meth, and more than that on race gas. I would like low 10 second or high 9 second potential with my set up, but would still like it to be half *** street friendly.

Which BW do you guys recomend for my setup?

S480 with the 87 turbine and a 1.10 housing gets my vote.

T6 S480 with the 96mm turbine and 1.32 housing. Capable of 1000 rwhp very easily on a 370
