I agree that the sched 40 is the most durable and probably helps keep the exhaust temp up where it should be, but I do have one concern - I'm building a 6.0l and putting it in my 87' chev Suburban that I use for a lot of off roading with the fam - it has been known to catch air from time to time and I'm concerned that the weight of the log manifold made from sched 40 would be to heavy and tend to shear on hard impacts. Does any one have any experience with this?

Thanks for the help!
Next question is turbo size - My short block consists of a line-honed, bored and decked 6.0l block, stock crank, Eagle H-beams, Mahle -20cc dished pistons (all balanced), and a 54-414-11 Comp Cam (similar to a stock LS6 cam). Heads are stock 241's that have been ported and polished, decked, 3 angle valve job and LS6 springs. I roughly figure my CR at 9.2 to 1. My goal is to have the power at about 2500-4500 RPM's, and I'm looking for at least 450 at the wheels. What turbo would best suit my needs?
