Default What would you do?

Alright guys i have a small problem. First of all let me tell you what I am looking for powerwise. 900rwhp
I am running a t70 right now but will be going larger.
My questions are as follows.
I have an iron 6.0l block 4.040 bore with a stock crank it would be about 370 and a stroker would be 410.
My turbo kit will only allow a t80gts right now and I dont know what to do to make it accept a t88. If I go with a 370 i would be able to use the t80.
A 410 would be to much for it probably.
Would you just stick with the 370 or go 410 and take the chance to max the turbo?
Also what rods and pistons would you go for?
Just let me know if you need more info from me wich I am sure you will.

I'd go 80GTS with a 370. Still pushing it to reach 900rwhp, but if not it will require modifying the kit a good bit.

So you think i should shoot for 900 with the 370 and t80? I think all it needs to use a 88 would be new DP, but I am not sure.

The T88 is longer as well (bearing section), so it will move your cold side piping also, so you might want to think about that.. Plus a 4" downpipe is tough to route.
