Default Turbo set up

I already have some parts for the new setup, but i need to know what kind of turbo kits are the best from those who have used them. I have a 383ci with AFR 225's. Compression ratio will be 9.0:1. Bottom end has a callies dragonslayer crank, compstar rods, and diamond pistons. This will be a street car and the main intention for this setup is to be a supra killer. The AFR heads have already been sent off for additional CNC work. I have a Fast 90/90 that has been port matched to the heads. My question to ya'll is what would be a good streetable cam for this setup matched to what turbo. Im thinking going no less than an 82mm turbo and I am willing to go higher. Suggestions on cam specs?

The last one, call comp and tell them your setup and they'll custom grind one for you. Its among the best info I got.

As for turbo, get a nice t6 flanged unit, ST80 should kick some *** or bigger depending how much ponies you wanna make.

street car with over 1000rwhp huh? i would switch your fast 90 intake(there have been some problems with the boost u will be requiring to make 1000rwhp).u are going to probably need something in the 88-91 mm range for the power u want

I figured i would have to go with a carb-style intake manifold. Im probably going to go on and get an 88mm turbo. Still trying to decide on cam specs for the setup.

you can go with a LS6 intake and still hit a 1000hp. its been proven. go ahead and sell/trade the FAST and you can have some extra cash for a cam

Thats in the ballpark of where I was looking. I was thinking about a custom ground 235/236, .600"/.615" lift, on a 116 LSA.
