lag, being a bad thing, is way over exaggerated. . . because when you are racing, you fall right back to your powerband anyway. It also makes for a nice driveable vehicle, allowing you to stay out of boost, if wanted that for some strange reason. Also leaving alot of room to make nice peak power if you want to see what that larger turbo can really do.
Anyway, I bought a smaller turbo than I am running currently (not necessarily a small turbo, just smaller), and don't even want to put it on, because I am so happy with how my car is running.

Yeh man, I wouldn't worry about driving around with a little bit of lag. But when you start looking into clutches, driveability of a nice clutch that can hold the power, now thats a whole different story. I drive a Clutchmasters FX500 and being a 4 puck unsprung at first it was brutal, but after it was broken in and I got used to it, its not that bad anymore. Now, I actually enjoy it.

I wouldn't worry too much about stock internals. I have a completely stock LS making about 320 whp and 270 lb/ft of torque. Tuning is the only reason why that setup runs so well. And whenever I can datalog I'm probably gonna push it a little further (300 ft/lb sounds nice), considering I kept it real conservative not being able to datalog. I wouldn't limit yourself to saying how much boost you would run, just tune by power. Boost is realistically irrelevant.

Wow!! I would have never guessed you could make those numbers on stock internals!! I will be running uberdata so the tuning will not be a problem...BTW I can't wait to meet you and see your setup at the H/A meet in a few weeks
