Default Quick turbo selection question

Was originally thinking about a MP GT45 but may be leaning towards the Gt-42 that xssive is selling https://ls1tech.com/forums/lsx-parts-sale/430268-new-garrett-gt42-860-shipped.html

Car is an 80 Malibu with LS1, turbo cam, ported TB, LS6 intake and wiull mostly be a street car with some possible strip time

Any opinions??

Thanks

do you have fordged pistons?? how much power you want to make? That's a good price on that turbo,i would have bought a gt42 but the pysical size and weight changed me over to a pt76gts.

All the internals on the motor are stock (for now) except for the cam. I have plenty of room in the engine bay
