Default S475 or S480 on my 5.3 317 heads. t56

I have a 99 camaro T56 car and I'm looking for help on choosing my next turbo. I want better spool times than my PT88 and I'm considering a Borg unit. I wouldn't see full boost until 4500rpm. I'm considering a T4 unit. Either s475 or s480 with 83mm turbine and 1.10 a/r. I'm tuning 317 heads and a TU2 camshaft. Looking to make over 760rwhp before 6500 rpm.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I'd go the S475. I'd easily give up some HP if it meant I'd have full boost well under 4k. Personal preference.

What exh. wheel and housing specs on the 88 your running now? Whats your hotside/manifold specs? IMO that cam is pretty high duration for your setup, isn't doing you any favors for early "spool-up".
