80mm or bigger for sure. Id do at least an 88mm if it were mine, but I dont mind giving up a little on bottom.

i'm runing the tc78 and i love it. but its on a 5.3L it has just enough lag to get moving from a stop light then its full boost. turbonetics makes a 78 with a really big turbine wheel if you look at their catalog.

if your only wanting to make 700 to the wheels I would go with a Precision 76mm. I think they will support around 1k and should spool pretty quickly on a 370 street truck

The BW are big turbos, but the best sounding IMHO, lol. I loved the way my S480 sounds on my truck.

Id say the BW turbo's are the best hp vs $. The GT76 Garrett is up there too but costs more. A S480 83mm, 1.10 AR should be a decent mid range turbo on a 370.

That S480 with the t6 1.32 will have the big 96mm turbine. It will make the most power, close to 1000 but a little slower spool. Mine is a S480 with a 83mm turbine and was running it with the T6 1.10, but I have a 1.0 T4 housing I'm gonna put on it when it goes back on these pipes.

FYI, a S400 75/83 SX3 T4 1.10 A/R is a 75mm compress, 83mm turbine with a T4 1.10 a/r.

S400 75/87 SX3 T4 1.10 A/R is a 75mm compress, 87mm turbine with a T4 1.10 a/r.

Here is how my 346 spooled the T6 83mm turbine in the T6 1.10 a/r...
