Default turbo selection ?

well im thinkin of droppin the CR and going DIY turbo on my 402. i want max power but dont wanna worry about pushing water and reliability. i figured 17# would be max? HP goal min 800 wheels 900 would be great. any more and its money in the bank. more lookin for track times and the ability to if i want street drive it. ill be swappin out the 6spd this winter for a TH400 keeping the nitrous on till i got all the parts for the turbo. at that time a head swap and cam swap would be needed as well.

id like to go 6.0L manifolds and an A2W. im just tryin to figure out how to well figure out how to select a turbo. i so far have used this to figure out what i need to look for in a turbo map.

by the PSI and all this turbo looks as thought it would work at any were from 10 to 17 PSI

i would do a t6 flanged one since you will be at 402 cubes
and if your wanting only 800-rwhp, a S76 or S88 should be plenty.
or you could do 2 T4 flanged, like T61s or T66's or something.
