I think in a set like I am thinking of running, 50 lbs./min wouldn't be too bad. My 64 will flow that easily, and is at full boost by 1800. So if that means full song at 2k rpm from the bottom turbo, that would be just fine. The 64 will make the low end more livable than that POS 66 or my 74, and I have till 4500+ rpm to have fun with the big turbo. The downside to the GT55 is the cost. I know FI is making journal bearing GT55's, it might be more economical. I'm still tossing the idea around of going with another Garrett. Too bad the GTX wheel isn't out for the 55.

Tate my current vote, for the dually is a 5533-94, with something tight on the exhaust like a .90 or 1.00. Journal bearing, cast wheels, unless you are feeling super blingy the day you order... 
Should have as good of street manners as you can expect at this level, and do well north of 4 digits on fuel.

Hah, you guys will never guess what a 5533-94 is worth...
With GST its over $4k but under 5k. I'll print out the quote for you guys. That S510 is seems to be the cheapest big turbo out, but only the poor guys worry about that part.

Safe to say thats the BB CHRA. FI is $2700 for the journal bearing version. I'll probably wind up ordering from them. Unless Alamo can get the JB version for me.

In a business you never exchange on the days true rate, you set a rate that will keep you making money over normal fluctuation.
At work my current exchange is 1.258 on product purchased in the USA, so a $3500 item becomes a $4403 landed in Canada if I am selling it at work.
