AGP Turbo ?

I'm thinking these turbos, 62/62 Journal bearing turbos - .82 a/r 1100whp is probably too big for a stock cubes heads and cam LS3.
Do you guys agree? I don't want huge turbo lag. In the future I want to go 441ci then they might not be too big. What do you think?

Thanks for your help.
Bob.

Call them up and talk to Kevin or send him a PM on here. Let him know your plans and he'll set you up with the right setup. His customer service is top notch.

I have 62/65 BB turbos on stock cube LS3 M6 car and it's not bad at all. I had 3.91's which I felt was too much gear and didn't load the turbos enough so I ended up switching to 3.27's. Now it feels perfect for street driving and roll racing. You do have to change up you driving habits a bit, but nothing major. Either way brake boosting helps cure all perceived lag. I say perceived because everyone has an opinion on how much lag is too much or no lag. I too plan to my cubes when I decide to build my engine.

You may want to base your turbos on your timeline and mileage you plan on before building you 441. If you plan on the engine upgrade in a year or two I would opt for the bigger turbos. If the build is further out you may want to go a tad smaller and by the time you decide to build your engine in 2 or 3 years you may be wanting to refresh your turbos anyway and then you just upgrade.

Best advice though is contact Kevin!
