Default Trying to size turbo

Im ditching the whole F1R procharger setup and going turbo, just not making the power I want and after belts, cog pulleys and everything else Im done. With that being said the motor is a 383 LS1, forged, arp studs throughout, worked 317 heads with brian tooley 660 springs, meth, cam will be a Tick (not sure which yet) with compression being around 10.5:1 (engine is at machine shop getting new pistons and heads cleaned up) I want to go with the Huron Speed V2 T6 turbo kit, just not sure on which turbo. Car is full weight 02 trans am, th400 with brake and 4k stall, 9 inch with a few gears to choose from, 3.25, 3.55, 3.73 and 4.11's
Im not looking for mild manned driver, good mileage, or a good mix of both, really hoping to make around 900-950 on the meth with 18-20 pounds of boost. Race fuel only, no pump gas.

S480 cast wheel T6 flange, 1.32 housing, 96mm wheel.

That would be a good budget unit that will meet your goals and match the engine size well.

I am a fan of twins but Martin is a sharp cat & I agree with him on the single choice.

The build took a slight turn today, found out the block is no good, so all parts being swapped to an LQ9 I was saving for another build, so its now an iron 408. I just want to tell everyone that the help and advice I have received from Superman09 and Martin@Tick have made this build possible, both went above and beyond to answer my questions. Turbo kit is now ordered and hope to put in the order for the cam kit in the next day or so.
