Default st80, is it to big???

hey guys, i know this is a really broad question, but here it goes. i have a rcsb with a lq9. a 224/226 114lsa cam. 3.73 ear end ,a4, and still undecided on what stall. however, a friend of mine is giving me a reallly good deal on a 80 mm turbo. i know you guys will probably need more info than what iam providing, but im finanlly ready to start piecing together a turbo kit. im looking for around the 600hp range and the truck will be for street and hwy fun. track use will be very rare. any help will be greatly appreciated before i start buying stuff.

I'll trade ya my 75, for your 80.. lol You will be closer to 1000 hp with that turbo... just change your goals around.... You will end up wanting that kinda of power in the end anyway...

i will get the a/r from him as soon as he gets home. but 2 questions, what stall size would you guys recommend for a turbo that big? i think i may need to go to a smaller turbo. i mean of course in the future i wanna go more hp. but we are talking about a stock lq9. the engine just freshend with new rings and seals. but still stock pistons. so i would like to get a lil time out of it. and this is a street truck that i would like to be peppy. - oh yea, wilde racing, what size turbo and stall did you have on your stock 6.0?
