Default Turbo size help

I need some helping selecting a turbo. I will be using a 60 series t4 turbonetics chra in a 427 lsx. I would like to have good street spool but flow in the 70lb range with about 20 psi and good efficiency.

I was trying to spec out the 64mm hp compressor wheel but can't find a map for it. Also would the f-1 65 wheel be a good match?

Thanks for the help, I'm a turbo noob

If the garret t-64 is basically the same as the cast turbonetics 64 then it's too small. I think the better option is the hp66. What wheel would match best, the 65 or 68?

That map is nice. Problem is the covers. I have the Huron C5 hot and cold side piping so I can only fit an s cover equivalent and 3" vband out. Do the S366 come with that option?

Then why not speak to Huron about some suitable units if it's their kit ?

And the BW's all have big covers.
