If you are saying JB 5558 instead of the Gen 2 5558, then I would pick the 5858. If you are talking about the Gen 2 5558, I would pick the Gen 2 5558.

.82 A/R for either. Don't even bother with less.

Either turbo will do 550whp on E85 easily. Gen 2 5558 would be the best combo of responsiveness and power.

Razorlab thanks for the reply. Yes gen 1 JB5558 and JB5858. When does a JB5858 start spooling on a stock 4g63 and is it safe to rev to 8,000 on stock internals?

What do you think the 5558 Gen 2 would do on 93 pump gas?
