There is also a GT2860RS Ball Bearing for $600 less than GTX2860R. Now I question, do I really want a GTX2860R for DD and rare autox/tracking or can someone be equally happy with the cheaper turbo options?

Not exactly sure what the hp numbers mean on this page, is that hp the turbo adds to the car's current hp, or hp the car can have after setup/tuning?
I was in the same boat. Track and Autox my car with the GT2860RS. Full boost (8psi) by 3600rpm, 290whp.

I didn't think the GTX was worth it for my application, especially at lower boost levels. When I eventually build my block I might go for the upgrade, but wasn't worth it at the time.
