I still think for a street car the HTA Green is the way to go, but to each his own.

If mostly highway driving at relatively high average speeds, high speed sweepers, long uphill grades, and rolling on the throttle, then you want as much compressor as possible.Nothing smaller than a Red/BBK-B. Also look at MAP EF3 which is in the same general class.

For that kinda driving, you might want to consider instead a turbo with a larger, colder blowing compressor than the Red, such as, The Black, MAP EF4, or the CBRD BBK-C(which should sit somewhere between the Red and the Black sizewise). In fact the new CBRD B.B. BBK-C is what I would do, given the type of driving that you would mostly be doing.
