The 68HTA is basically a billet 18G. You're never going to get far on pump gas with any turbo using a TD05H turbine.
Definitely won't be the Black.
Figure you'll need turbo capable of 52-55 lb/min to make 450whp on pump gas without meth in order to keep from melting things down. Unfortunately you can't have a quick-spooling DSM bolt-on pump gas turbo that is capable of 450whp....it just doesn't exist. You have to be able to sacrifice something:
- You can have a 450+hp DSM bolt-on turbo that spools fast, but you're not going to get away with running pump gas. (Example - FP 71HTA)
- You can have a quick-spooling turbo that works great with pump gas, but you're not making 450+whp. (Examples - Evo III 16G, TD05H 20G, FP 68HTA)
- You can have a 450+hp DSM bolt-on pump gas turbo, but it's not going to spool fast. (Examples - Bullseye S256, Holset HX35/HX40, FP DSM 76, Green XL, Red)

I knew Justin would chime in
I would be interested in seeing some dynos of the FP DSM 76 or 71HTA's.
I think he can get very close, if not to a satisfactory level of power with the Black.

I figure a 2.3 should help spool things a bit faster than a 2.0 would.
Definitely true, however like Justin said, a stroker will feature lower RPM redlines, so although it can boost quicker, total advantage of that boost may not show right away. (That may not be worded like it is supposed to be but hope it makes sense?)
