Arrow Which Snail?!?!

Alright ill be ordering a snail for my build in the next week or 2 and im stuck between the Borg Warner S400-72 ETT* or the Master Power T76/.96.....

The setup is pretty simple 5.3 with 317's ls6 cam im just wondering if the S400-72 would be to big with a 1.10 backside?

Any help would be great!


Thanks.....

if you plan to use the borg you will need to reposition your T4 flange as i built it to be used with a .96 AR or smaller T4 housing. is the Borg a T6 or T4 housing (the reason i ask is most of them are T6). they are HEAVY!!!!!! so bracing will be extremely necessary. I would sttrongly recommend the T76 as they are a great entry level turbo to use. how about a Turbonetics TC76? lol you want a payment plan? hell that would be best for me as I am still in the works with my twin T70 build.
