Great information, at what rpm did you see full boost @12 psi?

On the dyno it looked like 4k rpm's but in higher gears I can hear my wastegate open at 3600-3800 rpm's when going full throttle from cruising at 3k or so. This turbo creates a very useable power band.

Now I've heard the divided t4 housing with a 1.22 ar is best, is that true or should I look into a non divided?

Sounds good for 500 with e85, but I would work on the diff first nothing like having 500hp and cant drive it the way you want. I justed picked up a 99 corba 8.8 diff going to try to make it work .good luck

With a GTX 3076 on a completely stock AP1 at 15 psi on 93 octane I made 453/295 so I don't see why you shouldn't be able to meet your goal of a higher torque number
