Those are all great turbos. In order to help answer your question we would need more info though. Is your car a DD, track only, mixed, 1/4mi, autocross, how much HP do you want, etc..

Please give some specifics and there are plenty of us that would be glad to help out

You can get there with a 30R and still retain quicker spool, or run an FP turbo such as a Red.

you know what they say,go big or go home.

go with 6262,cams,double pumper for E85 and bigger injectors and hope your current clutch lasts through the week.

honestly though for 500whp,i would go with the 35.

If you're going with the basic 30r or 35r, the 35r would be the best choice for your money of the 2. I personally wouldn't mind using a 6262 on my daily driver, it's an excellent turbo for big power on the stock block as it doesn't produce a big torque spike.

Id run any FP turbo over a GT30R/35R but thats just me.... You will notice way more gains across the board with a green/red/black, or MAP EF2/3 CBRD BBK etc etc....

plus you're limited to 400tq since your internals are stock... I'd say the 6262 option is out since that is a much higher hp turbo then you would get to enjoy on your stock block

So you're saying you'd run a FP HTA3794 over a GT35R?

OP, if you're wanting to do fast highway pulls, the 6262 is the turbo you want out of those listed.

If you read my post you can see I clearly specified which I would run. But I have a DBB FP Black going into my car, so consider my opinion biased.

However, Stock block, I'd never run a turbo the size of a 6262
