I am anxious to see whether this head paired with my turbo will provide top end gains and keep my midrange or kill it. I found the .64 to drop off a bit at redline but this setup could prove to remedy that.

Why run a small turbo like that on a fully built engine? You have an engine that can push out about 600hp or more depending on turbo and tunning and you are going to run a GT2871r.64.
