Either one of those turbos are small for a 370ci engine. What kind of power are you looking to make?

Just be happy with 550RW, it's MUCH cheaper; you can keep your stock engine. 600-700 is huge step up money-wise for a smaller return. Trust me; I wish I had started this way.

your heads may be one of your limiting factors. with FI you want lower compression so you can run more boost with less chance of detination. i know speed inc makes a nice motor. id check them out as well. sorry not much of a help.

Look into LME. My 370 was pretty cheap. And those guys know their stuff.
