Default turbo for 454?

just quick question, im probally going to turbo my BBC for my chevelle, just wanted to know what would be the best turbo to run?
im going with a single turbo because i want to push as much air as possible, was thinking of getting a egay T70 and having it redone by blaast.
but will this be big enough to handle like 900hp? i dont know if i will make that much, but thats what im shooting for.

so far i just have the bottom together with
forged stock stroke 454 crank
new rods and flat top forged pistons
i want a nice set of dart heads and im going to do megasquirt fuel injection if i can ever get that far.

The S400 looks like a pretty good bet for the price. Turbonetics used to have a chart of common turbo sizes and about what PSI/HP they were good for on different sized engines.

T70 is way too small. T70 is good for like 500-550hp?

I think the baller turbos are way overrated. I would got with two moderately sized common turbos...Easier, cheaper, and less complicated IMO. Show us a pic of your engine bay for more input....
