The GT88 is rated at around 1300hp with a 5" downpipe outlet. I ordered one from Jose at ForcedInductions for a 364ci setup I'm doing and it seems to be budget friendly and work great for what I want to do with it. Supposed to start making boost around 3500rpm and full boost around 4K. I'll know this spring how it works out after the build is complete.

You need to pair up your engine (displacement) with an efficient sized turbo as a combination instead of simply deciding what turbo you want. Backpressure can be an issue with pairing up a smaller size turbo with a larger size motor.

Why not a straight 98? Are you racing in a class with an 88mm restriction?
