Default borg warner s372 on gm 4.8 capabilities?

Long story short , had a lq4 6.0 liter with a turbonetics tc78 on it in my GMC sonoma. Truck ran 10.82@128.5 but I learned a lesson on back pressure and eficiencey..
I sold the motor/turbo stuff. Now building it again with a 2008 4.8. Head studs/gaskets etc, trying to pick a turbo that'll push this motor to its stock longblock limits-ish. (700rwhp) I know the two most popular choices would probably be a precision 7875 or turbonetics 7875 but I have an interest in using a Borg warner t4 unit. Wondering what peoples experience/ results are with the s372. Or would the s400 75mm with a t4 turbine housing be necessary?. Any help would be great.
(Motors got 799 casting heads, will be studded, head gaskets , and custom cam.)

I sold the whole truck running /driving, to someone I know, half cash up front the rest was supposed to be paid monthly and he was having a hard time coming up with the last few thousand so I ended up with the truck, the Moser 12 bolt, steel driveshaft, and the wiring harness... so here I am starting from scratch basically. The lq4 and the rest of my setup is now in a 1955 Chevy pickup.
