All they say is you want to know this info when selecting it, but looking at all the information in a comparison chart (pleat, trim, etc.), I'm still lost...

6.2L LS3
looking for a large single turbo running 8-12 psi
Hoping for power to start at around 3200-4000 rpm and peak slightly before redline.
looking for around 500-550 RWHP ish
Mostly looking for major pickup at speed from a roll so I can leave my stepfather's porsche on the freeway/track.

Please ask me all the questions I forgot to answer and I'll be more than happy to answer them. I'm looking to better my knowledge of turbos in general and pick one out for my car when I get it.

Thanks!
Done this before. It costs less in the long run and you get better results if you go with a known turbo kit.
