Default i've been going back and forth on this one... but it seems like 28RS is the solution for my needs

which sounds the same as yours -- daily driver on stock internals... and it's good for ~350hp

Default GT^30 R builds boost before 3000 and is full in by 3600 - 8000 and good for 500whp

But there is more to it than the turbo. I find this range perfectly acceptable for street, thats why you have a gearshifter.
