Best turbo for 550-600hp??

What is the best turbo to run on an 06' in the 550-600hp range? In the process of building a truck like this and I have been convinced that I don't need twins for this. So let's hear it!

what is the primary usage of the truck? if its a dyno queen, drag truck, sled puller, DD, or trailer tow machine, the recommendations will have to vary.

My 06 is making 600 at the wheels with a PS62-14, 90 hp DDP injectors, Completely stock CP3, Airdog lift pump, and beta Smarty. My EGT's are around 1450 in the quarter. Traps 111 mph, and I've pulled very heavy with this turbo/injector combo..

Either the silver 62 or a silver bullet

if you go with the silver 62 it is only 300 bucks to upgrade if you outgrow it

very nice turbo,, very versitile.... if you can swing it I suggest going up to the silver 62 though... not a whole bunch of difference, but IMHO it is worthwhile

i dont think my sps62 would cool the hp levels you want very well, it works good at 500-550, but 600 might be pushing it.

Kind of leaning towards twins now. Seems to allow me a safer route in getting 600hp and don't have to worry about EGT's. Other then cost, I am not seeing the downside to twins.
