With a 396 stroker that is a small turbo. Personally I would look at something like a pt88 for those cubes.

IMO, any t4 frame is going to have excessive back pressure on a 396

I did get ahold of jose (forced inductions) well my proturbo kit is a t4 so he suggested the PT88 or the GT88 I know I need a large ar maybe at least 1.15 but not sure waiting on his input he has great prices and warranties too I'm trying to figure what's best out of these two

With a PT88 or a GT88 you are limited to a .96A/R, but that is all you will need. The 1.15A/R he was talking about was most likely for the smaller turbos to bring up turbine side flow vs PR. With the 88's you have a big turbine wheel so the .96A/R is plenty.

I have the pro turbo kit so what if I purchased a t4 to t6 flange converter would that work to open turbo options and be worth it or is the 88 t4 plenty?
