We're talking .07 of an inch on the inducer... Your eyes are better than mine.

It looks like a t3-60 or t3-super 60 are both decent choices for my application. I'm more concerned with power under the curve on this truck than peak power... Investigating a few sources for the t3 60/super 60.. I'm not willing to dump $700 on a turbonetics version.. At least not yet.

I don't know if any of this helps, you probably already have the maps if you're doing this much research.

to me it looks like the regular 60trim has a bigger sweet spot, not thinking about the price difference i think i would rather have the 60trim instead of the super60

that's great information, if it's true.. but maching a standard garret housing to accept an inducer that's .07" larger shouldn't be that big of a deal...
Here are a list of vendors that are selling "super 60s":

http://www.mjmturbos.com/T3Super60stage3.htm
http://www.spoolinperformance.com/ga...er60-p-33.html
Generally speaking, every single "super 60" I've found isn't authentic, other than the ones made by turbonetics. I even have one ebayer comparing it to a "known" super-60 turbo. Turns out he had two t3-60s based on inducer size...

super 60's are very rare because they have to be purchased from turbonetics as an aftermarket turbo.
While of course, normal 60 trim t3's are all over the place because found on many factory cars.
What's the point of spending huge amounts on a turbonetics super 60 while it performs basically the same as the 60 trim?
dcg9381 is right: it's possible to over bore a 60 trim into a super 60, provided you can find that rare wheel, but why just a super 60 while more efficient and cheaper wheels are available Here, I fitted a t04B 63 trim wheel in the t3 60 housing. It will outflow any super 60.
