I would get an fp black if I was going to get any Bolt on turbo but the internal gate and lack of stable boost till redline doesn't fit my criteria. I also am saving $ while prepping for the eventual 35r variant to go on. However I already have a friend I am installing an FP Black on a BR 2.3 with stg3 head and kelford 272's so if I don't like my powerband in comparison I will get a black or red.

That sounds awesome. Did you get the sc61 for a steal of a price? For reference in the middle of august heat this summer, running a peak of 26psi on a setup with no porting, mild cams, stock motor and a teeny shot of methanol I ran 11.2 with the BBK. I also missed second gear on my best launch that day so an 11.1 was certainly possible. That was without powershifting or anything very abusive and I am full interior, I've actually added weight to my car.
