gt35r is a small turbo for a single turbo setup on a ls1... You will max out the turbo real quick. Lag will not be an issue as its small and dual ball bearing. If you are set on single a t70 is smallest you should even consider, but most got with a t76. If you are set on the 35 get 2 of them.

thanks ive just heard alot about the gt35r being a good turbo but didnt know alot of info on it to be truthful. i was looking at the t76 before i came along the gt35r, but hadnt heard much but apparently that is the way to go.

i also considered a large single turbo setup ie t88 or bigger but i heard lag was real bad and that large singles were mostly for drag cars running constant high rpms

Th400 w/ 3.25s.

Can be daily driven but my cam and 96lb injectors would be thirsty no matter what.

so are you taking very high rpms at interstate speeds?

and if you dont my me asking could you pm me these things

brand of injector and fuel pump
psi that you run at most of the time
times you run on the track at your psi you drive around with
how is your boost lag?

and i assume from the pics you are running a frt mount single

Got my injectors/driver box from Nasty Nate

I have ran 10.20 @ 139 on a shitty day/run
Zero boost lag when I had a T76gts

so anything from a t70 to t80 is a good single turbo setup
