Default 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

I just bought a T3/T04E 57trim .60compressor and .63 turbine. I'm sure this turbo is going to make the power but I'm wondering what the spool time's going to look like

Yeah thats true. So you'd pick the sc34 over a t3/t4? Can you educate me a little on that choice?
