I would say it will see more street than track but I've been sucked into things before. I'm not deadlocked on a 408 but that is what most sponsors suggested. I don't want to be at the very limit of the turbo but close to it. When I am at 900rwhp that is. I will have stuff fabbed if needed but don't want to if possible.

Tom said I could go with an 80 on the kit but not the t88. He did offer to sell me his car though which has a t88 on it!

No they're not, becuase 35mm turbos wouldn't support 400 RWHP each. They're GT35 turbos, which use a 61mm inducer.
