Is pump gas a requirement? And is this going to be a street car that is driven often? I've never seen someone use that big of an engine for a daily driver, but I do know a couple people with around 1200hp in their daily driver cars, but on race fuel, not pump. at 25-30psi. These are stroked 302 & stroked 351w engines though.
In any case, you need to figure out what size engine you plan on running for sure, then the max rpm you're going to run. Then I could look at some maps for you, but you're probably better off talking to a turbo manufacturer like garrett.
