I'd like the car to spool up pretty quick since its a street driven car. Plus space is a factor, so I'd lean towards a smaller turbo as long as I can acheive my 800 HP with room to grow to 1000 HP if wanted (I'm not really planning on exceeding the 1000 HP range, since in my opinion thats just not practical on the street)

Since its a street car I want my power curve to be at the lower end rather than have to spin the motor up just to get into the meat of the power/TQ curve.

I'm still researching the ball bearing vs. journal bearing, but from what I've learned so far, I'm leaning towards ball bearing.....correct me if I'd be better to go with journal bearing....
