Whats the best ball bearing turbo on the market today ???

In your opinion, what's the best turbo for a built 5.4 engine with fully ported 3Valve heads.

That's for a daily driver and not a racing truck, will use 93 octane 99% of the time.

My plan is: Twin 66mm Precision Turbos "PT6176RS".
Are they too big ?? Would be a good idea to use smaller ones ?? My goal is to make them spool as soon as possible as the truck weights 5400lbs.

Any comment will be trully apreciated,
thanks.

hey man check out hp performance. they built an 03 stock cobra for a dyno shop in memphis and used twin 60 trim t04e. it put 851 down on the dyno and is almost instant boost. the cobra was king of the street 04 and is still on the same engine and turbos. it is a daily driver and he drives it everyday like he stole it.
