yes I have a T60 .96 ar it spooled very nice and super quick. I got greedy and swapped to a T70, not bad spool still. Unfortunately I got excited and pulled the 60 off before I got the tune complete but it seemed like it was going to be alot of fun on the front mount. I still have it but will probably stick with the 70 atleast for now. It was an instant spool to 8 psi lots of torque it might even be worse on the tranny than the slower spooling larger turbo, just a thought...

I had a rear mount garrett 60mm and for towing with the converter locked up it would get full boost at 1600rpms. Pulled hills great with a heavy load. but a off idle punch it would be 3000-3500 before i got good boost and pulled good.
If it was on a front mount it would have been ever better.

Yea, I like the idea of a 60 just to run around 6lbs or so, only want to see around 5500 rpm max anyway, As for the supercharger sound yes i loved the whine, I had the sidemount old school one's and the chargers themselves were noisy and I didn't care for it much, I since have sold that and want to build my own system, would a 60 with a .96 ar be too slow to spool or would it still do nicely since I have a crew cab 4x4 lt fully loaded so it plenty heavy plus i have 22's on it that are a little heavier than stock so it should load up quickly.
Thanks for info guys!

YEah I know, I'm trying to avoid that, I was trying to buy a 60mm to enjoy the quick responsiveness, and not push insane power, like i stated around 6lbs or so, that would get up and go nice, i can still shift in the 5500rpm or a little less rpm band and be spooled up around 2500. i figured the 70 would be too large so i am looking toward a 60/62 possibly 67.
I have a lead on a 60 with a .96 a/r so i'm trying to get some perspective on what that will act like in my truck. with only 6lbs or so.
