Default optimal turbo for 347

what turbo would be the best for getting to 700+ rwhp on a built forged 347 with 6.0L heads and a turbo cam. i was thinking a t76 would do the job but might start running out of air at the top end. would a t88 or gt42 be better suited?

this isn't for me (i wish), but you know who you are!!!!

bigger isin't always better........but, i don't know **** about turbos and all that. SMOKINHAWK what do you think about 347-348 c.i. w/ 6.0 heads, turbo cam for a daily driver. like STOLEIT said he's looking for top-end, would just a larger turbo meet his needs ???? race only or street/strip????

Only one? I'd run two up front and another rear mounted.

With as much air as these motors push, a GTS would be fine on a 347. There's guys running smaller cube motors w/ the same turbo and running just fine.
