Default Help with turbo selection

well i am just about to the point were i need to purchase a turbo.

a little list of the car and what i am using


Stock ls1
4l60e now looking to find an 80e
26' tire
3.73 gear
converter yet to be purchased.


i will be using one of the master power chargers. i am stuck between the 70 and the 76. this car is mainly a street car driven around 3000 miles a year but i like to beat on it at the track every now and then. so i am looking for something that will come in pretty early. i fear the 76 is to large for my goals. and the 70 may be to little.
i believe i will stay in the 5-10 psi range
some input here help me decide.

i say the 76 because thats what most single turbo kits for the ls1 come with. But the best idea is to talk to someone about it.

Good luck
