The GT42 will be way to small for you..... Im running the GT42 with a 370 and im sure ill be going bigger sooner or later......
Dont go anything smaller the a T88.......

I have a PTS kit on my car and really like it
I only have A T67 rght now
I don't know if a T88 would fit without moving the radiator foward but it is a really well made kit and it lets you keep the AC
If you are in Charlotte you are more than welcome to look at my car/setup
it is a stock engine, rebuilt Tranny, 9 inchrear, and the PTS kit with 7 pounds of boost
