Turbo size for a 416

What turbo would be good for a 416 in an f body with a 4l80e. Street car maybe 7000 rpms. I know the turbine will have to be fairly large with that many cubes. It also has to be close to the size of a gt4788. That is what is on the car now.

As big as humanly possible. No but seriously on a street car a gt4788 t6 is fine. What are your goals would be the next step.
