In terms of horsepower, 85% of the time I will be running in low boost and there are times I want a kick in the ass and jump on high boost. 1500 hp is pretty much max. on my transaxle and I would love to brag and tell all that I have 1800hp but we all know bench racing and bragging rights are just that...I think between transaxle and tire limitations,this is going to keep us from putting much more power to the ground, so I would have to say with all honesty, if I can achieve a true 1500hp I would be more than happy.
Your final thoughts please, thanks for your patience.

I would stay with the 62-1s. The 60 series really shines below 24 PSI where as the larger compressors want a lot of pressure ratio to really make serious power. If 1500 HP is the limit of the entire system the 62-1s are a perfect match. They will give you an honest 200 HP more (combined) then what you have now, keep the feeling you have now, and are very flexible and efficient at the pressure ratios you are running. $856 is cheaper than one new non-ball bearing turbo (or very close to the same) so price wise $856 is actually not bad. Going to the larger compressors would give you the "my turbo is bigger than yours" bragging rights but if your transaxle is limited to 1500 HP you could never use the additional head room anyways.
