Deciding on a t3/t4
In the next 3 or 4 months I am going to start piecing together my parts to do a built bottom turbo z6.
One thing I can't really figure out what I wanna do, is the turbo. I am pretty sure its gonna be a t3/t4 of some sort, but I want some suggestions as to what trim, what AR's.
I am looking to make about 350 to the wheels, don't want an extremely late spool, but don't want to go too small.
I was thinking maybe something like this:
t3/t4e hybrid, 57 trim compressor wheel, .50 compressor/.48 exhaust
Think I would be good with something that size, or am I going too big? too small?

On a d-series a .48 is going to be very quick spool up. The compressor side I think is right on target its not a very quick spool up but it's quick and can pull hard on top end to. I think that turbo would go great to make 350hp or even 400 with the right components and tuning.

my D16Z6 uses a T3/04E .48/60 with 50 trim..
it lags but not too bad...and pulls until(went pass)stock redline.
when i said not too bad i meant not bad at high speed (higher rpm).
1st gear lags like a bitch, gets better as gear gets higher
