3065 or 3052. 3052 is right below 3065. I dont want to go too big and i have a lot of lag. But thats inevitable i know.(I guess thats how its spelled) Anyway, I guess i would need to call them to find out there suggestions for my setup.
Oh by the way: God created lag to give V8's a chance!

The FP3065 is a great turbo but its gonna cost you for that setup. Probably somewhere around $2200 for the turbo, O2 housing(2.5" or 3" is up to you), Tial wastegate, v-band clamps, all the extra hardware to go along with it. That turbo flows 65lbs/min, and i have seen videos of it making 400whp on pump gas. But you definitely want to call and talk to them so they can help give you further information on what setup will be best suited for your needs.

the 3065 is an excellent turbo.. it will make 550+ whp on good gas, and is plenty capable of over 400 on pump garbage.. it is a GT30 turbine in a custom housing, w/ a GT40 compressor, and a ball bearing center section.. the 3052 is the same turbo but with a smaller compressor wheel, that will make less power and have a lower powerband..
