Default Is this turbo good for my setup?

I need to know if this is turbo has good specs for my setup.

Turbonetics T3/T04e
3" Inlet
2" Outlet
.57t compressor wheel
.50 A/R compressor
.63 A/R turbine

It will be going on either a built DOHC ZC or built D16. Probably shooting for 15psi. It will be in a CRX built purely for the drag strip.

Depends on what you are after...that .63 turbine is going to make you wait for boost (4500rpm...) but give you bigger top end power. A .48 turbine would put you closer to 3500 rpm but it won't give you as much top end. In my opionin that .63 turbo is pretty big for your motor, but hey, if you want a killer strip car, go for it.

This car is built purely for the strip, and will only be driven on the road because I dont have a trailer. Were shooting for 300ish whp.

I'd say go for the .63...everbody on here says the little bit of lag you get works like traction control...better grip = better ET's + the top end power can be higher with the .63 than with the .48
