Default S480 96mm wheel on a 370 6 speed

So I want to run a s475 or s480 on my 370 with a 6 spd. How lazy would the s480 with a 96mm wheel be? I was recommended the 92mm wheel to help bring in boost quicker but it's another $400. What do you guys think. Did a lot of searching but couldn't find info on the exact setup I am looking at

With the DA right now, it wouldn't be too bad at all. I am visiting family in the East Greenbush area. You guys have some nice thick air out here!

Twin scroll right tune good cam and it will be awesome my 370 s480 spools lightning quick.
1.4 seconds 0-13psi on the brake so you will be happy if its set up right.

Go 92mm wheel or maybe try the 96mm wheel with the 1.10 housing.

Talk to Mr. Stephen Eades on here. He has a 96mm turbine S475 on his SBE LS1 that runs pretty good.

He can give you a first hand account and experience with a 6 speed and that turbine wheel and it's characteristics in terms of spool.

Awesome. Meant to add billet wheel helps A TON with spool up. Have had back to back comparisons.

I have been speaking with him for the past couple of days actually. I decided to go with a s475 after speaking with him and the huron speed guys and a few others lol. I got a smoking deal on it that I couldnt pass up. Martin i will be talking with you about a cam for my setup : ) Stephen will actually be building me the exact hotside setup he has on his car, they did an excellent job on it I must say

when i spoke to the guys at forced inductions the 92mm is what the recommended to me for the s480. I just decided to try the plain jane s475 for now. I am sure it will do the job, just looking for a fun street car
