Default Which turbo for my car?

I just picked up a 95 Lexus SC300 with 59k miles on it!
I plan to do something of this nature...

-Supra TT motor swap
-SP upgraded toyota Trans with 3200 stall (daily driver)
-SP58-SP63 turbo kit
STOCK FUEL for now!

I think with about 500rwhp or more with the auto, I have a shot at a 10.99. I know sound performance went 11.0x letting off at the 1000 mark with their built toyota tranny, stock fuel and their SP58 kit. I plan to run mid to high 10's with the car on stock fuel. What turbo do you guys think is best for my application. Id think the SP61 but what do you all think?

Thanks for the responses guys, I appreciate it!

for those who care, here are some pics of the car. This is bone stock with 17" chrome GS430 wheels. The car is getting the windows limo tinted, suspension is getting dropped, a stock 95 wing and all of the gold emblems are coming off and getting chromed.

pics were taken by previous owner in the rain, better ones soon!





and here are a few of the mustang because people always ask about the Turbo cobra in my sig..


before the turbo with the kenne bell and nitrous

well a TT motor is like 2100 bucks and the single turbo is right around 3000

BL's NA-T kit START at $4500

$600 for a TON more potential and totally upgradable, id say its worth it.
Im not sure the GE motor can take 550rwhp for very long either

well yeah swaps are easy to come by, but the installation is another thing. wiring is nuts. and then u have to have parts fabed. i say with an engine with only 59k miles go na-t. u can go with a BL kit. but u can also part together ur turbo kit. some people on here have put together a kit for 2k. check out www.clubna-t.com they have lots of info

thanks for the suggestions but I have a few guys locally who have done the swap before. I live 10 minutes from sound performance and Chris T, quikturbo (fastest 6 speed SC in the US) is a friend of mine!

I think Im going with a 61 with a 3200 stall on stock fuel. This should make about 550rwhp on 23psi or so but its going to be close to maxing out the stock fuel. It should go 10's without a problem. What do you guys think? It will be run on 26x11.5x16 ET streets
