Great turbo! I have a s480 but that 78 would make some great power on your 370 but by all means go with their 92mm or even 96mm turbine wheel if you can do it. These Lsx engines breathe a ton and you need alot of wheel on the turbine to support it. I have their 87mm turbine on a 347 and I am hoping its large enough

EDIT: btw the ONLY downside to a bw turbo is the physical size BUT easy to work around. They aren't too big

96mm 1.32 A/R was my plan. I bought an exhaust housing from a friend that size that was already ceramic coated. Hoping its not to lazy on the street which is why I was looking at the LI. Diesel guys claim it spools like a 71mm and the flow was near an 80mm
