Your turbo should come online quickly on the footbrake, if it doesn't your tune probably needs a going over. A T4 S75 on a 6L should zing! I had a T6 S480 on a little 5.3 and it spun it up quick. I could easily hit 10lbs on the footbrake, no 2 step, no trans brake, just give it some gas and go. Really was no issue running 1.4-1.5 60' in a heavy car.

It's just an LS1 block. Lots of opinions out there but it seems about 850 is the max you should push it and I'm sure a few guys in here would say don't even push it that far 
Yeah but he said it was because he installed his tensioner pulley wrong. If you install something incorrectly on an NA car it won't run properly either.
As far as installs it seems to me that superchargers are way easier to install and tune than turbos so that's a plus for superchargers IMO

Trust me, I hear the belt slip issue thrown out all the time, and how it takes so much power to turn the blower, and turbos are free power, etc etc.... It doesn't bother me.
My daily is a 2.0l turbo and it's fun, it's just different. I've always said, one day, I'll have a turbo LS car... just not right now.

I know it's capable of 1.5's all day, I just ran out of time last time at the track. The tune is conservative for the sake of stock rods and longevity. It's a 99.5% street car. The issue is it take some practice to perfect the staging sequence. For example one time I left and forgot to take my finger off the 2 step button and killed that run. It would be nice to just roll up and mash it.
I too kept timing low with a stock bottom end but it still spooled up pretty easy. Could also be your converter, but I would look at the tune first since lots of people add fuel too quick or pull timing too early.

I'm also not down on torque either. With everything in the factory location, out a stainless works catback, I made 860hp/760 (spinning through the torque peak) with 700ft/lbs at 4000 rpm. Sure, we can pull up a lot of turbo dynos where they make more, but for me, being a street car, it's just about enough.
I have had several centri cars and turbo cars and I prefer turbo hands down. The centri setups are good for guys wanting a little more than stock but turbos are for making the GTR guys regret spending $200k on a Nissan only to see a catfish yank it's doors off.
The feel of the turbo spool up without having to downshift is so fun.
