Yeah, I have been in contact with Tom for the past few weeks. He mentioned that the .63 would be a better choice for quicker spool up, highway milage, etc. If I wanted to go higher power, then he advised to go with the .82.
Now I believe I qualified that statement by saying that .63 on a 3L would be spooling below 2000 rpm right? I also said that it would restrict high end breathing but would work very well for huge midrange torque. It'd be all over at about 6000 rpm.
Then I said that .82 was good because I felt the 3L had enough torque already for normal street/strip cars.
That said, the .62 stage 3 turbine with the escape cams would generate HUGE torque and would prove really nice with drag radials at the srip for a great 1/4 mile car.

Which one, I assume you mean the housing is .63? What T4 compressor does it have? What stage turbine wheel?

 Nice. Why'd you go with that particular turbo...if you don't mind my asking?

pretty much the price...I thought and thought about going the .82, but just didn't...also I am at such a high altitude and got so much lag before...I thought I would try the .63 housing.
(I believe Jim has the same turbo)
