Default Turbo a/r? and trim 1994 Mustang GT

So i have come to the conclusion that I want to boost my car to achieve my HP goal and power.. So after looking around at diff turbo's im trying to figure out what size a/r and trim I should go for ive heard from .43 to .60 but as we all know every car is diff so i figured I would ask for my car specifically to get the best one for me and my goals

I want to be reach 400+ hp and at least 350Rwhp on a single turbo
(twin if it can be reached with my budget) I figured keeping it around this much Hp will be the most fun while still not destroying my engine
ill be running the edelbrock performer upper and lower intake and I was thinking maybe even stock heads and if not the GT40p's with an aggresive cam..

so what size turbo would be best im trying to avoid turbo lag (I know it cant be totally avoided but I would much rather go with low end power because i do not plan on evvvvver pushing it over 100.. If there is any other information that would be helpful just let me know : )


Thanks!

I was in a bad car accident when I was 16.. ( i wasnt the driver) so the joy of going 100+mph was taken from me.. im fine with having a ton of low end power that drops off at like 5500.

yeaaa so it changed my whole outlook on a lot of things..

So i figured I would just be happy with either boosting with a single turbo or sc.. im just doing my homework before i purchase anything and go for it

You dont need Heads or a cam with a Turbo. You can easily get that amount of power under Boost with the stock heads and Cam. So if you WANT them then do it, but its not needed. Also if you skip those items than you can acheive your power goal and spend less money. Check out B&G Turbos.

Also if you want low end power and never plan to pass 100mph I think a SC would be a better choice for you.
