Exhaust housing comparison

How would a .84 A/R T3 compare to a .68 A/R T4 in terms of spool time, exhaust flow, backpressure, etc.?

EDIT: bear in mind this is in a single application. A friend has tried to convince me that the T3 would be better because it would spool so much quicker, and since I'm only running 7-9 psi, it wouldn't choke off too badly. Any input whatsoever?

The T3 would suck, plain and simple on a 346. A .68 A/R T4 would spool just as fast and would not choke off as early.

a .84 will be to small (unless a rear mount), not to mention how bad a .63 unless you were using two of them.
id try to stay about a .96AR, my T76 would bet 10psi by 2700rpm so spool time wasnt bad at all.
