Turbo too big?
I was thinking about doing to turbo setup to my Camaro but im not sure if the intended turbo i wanted to run would be too much? The turbo is a s91 from Forced Inductions on my 370? Heres the motor now as it sets:
Engine:
9.2:1 Compression
scat forged rods
speed pro forged pistons
new OE replacement lifters/Trays
cloyes non-adjustable timing set
ARP Main studs
ARP head studs
Clevite H bearings in cam, rods and mains
Patriot stage 3 LS6 Style heads
Lost the cam card, but the specs are 228/232 @.050 with ~.580 lift
all new GM gaskets
TSP air lid
LS6 Intake
ported LS6 oil pump
Comp hardned pushrods
Mac headers w/ true duals
160 T-stat
ASP underdrive pully
ported stock throttle body

that depends on a few things
1. intended purpose
2. goals for the car
3. transmission (manual or auto)
4. what A/R?
You could probably answer this question if you or just call forced inductions
now the short answer you'll probably be fine if its an auto. m6 will be a bit laggy

The car is not my daily driver but it will see more street than track time. My goal for the setup is to be making 900-1000 rwhp and hopefully running mid 9's? The car is a m6.

Since an 80mm, 88mm and 91mm can all meet your HP goals, I'd go with the smallest one that works. For street driving i'm usually at 650-700 rwhp and it's more than enough for driving around on.

The Garrett GT88 is also a viable option if your on a budget. GT47-88 comp wheel in a mid-frame unit with 94mm turbine wheel and 1.08A/R housing would spool quite nicely. That unit is only $1249 as well, so its hard to argue.
