Message	ok im stuck with choosing between the following three turbos: Amz stg2 z1 gt525 z1 gt600 im looking to do 500whp and run mid-low 11's on pump gas and possibly high 10's in race gas. not looking for much lag over stock, will have a refreshed shortblock (wiseco pistons, eagle rods) and a mildly ported head work and stock cams, full exhaust work done and ported stock manifolds. i know it'll be tough to reach (nearly impossible almost) 500whp with the first two i listed on pump gas and easier to do with the gt600 on pump gas, but the gt600 also seems to have a slightly more lag due to the larger housing. i'd be more happy hitting high 10's than hitting the 500whp goal so help me decide. The costs between the 3 turbos are not big enough to justify budget problems. I can't afford going with the hks setup so thats out of the question too.
