Pros? Its a totally baaaaadddd aaaaasssss water and oil cooled ball bearing gtx wheeled garrett charger, it should get you to 800 whp
cons? If you tow with efi live, and you like the turbine brake you will loose it. Its expensive. 100 overs will push that turbo really well, but the tune to keep the stock block in tact probably wont, so you will be creating a"build this motor" itch..... have fun!

I know I'm repeating others comments, but the price is very high compared to something comparable.
If you plan on sticking with a single after you blow your stock motor up than by all means get this one! With good tuning this turbo has enough air to get you in the 10's and is very streetable. Plus it sounds bad ass and should be very reliable. Get a tight exhaust housing and add a wastegate... Then you can throw nitrous int there too
The GTX is a very good charger but expensive , and i know a few people who have had failures , but for the most part they have done good . IMOP it is border line whether there worth the money though , just my 2 cents . We have recently became a dealer for a new brand of turbo and will be starting testing on them with in a few weeks , they have a model that should be very comparable to the GTX ( billet wheel , ceramic ball bearing , ect ) but cost will be about 1k less ( 2k ) and there are a lot of variations to choose from in turbine and comp sizing ( 67-80 mm comp ) for the same cost !! Well post about them once testing begins .
Most say the Precision 76mm will outflow the GTX , I dont know first hand though .
Flow charts can be over rated, just cuz a turbo flows more doesn't necessarily make it better. JMHO!
First off there are no maps available for precision chargers , so there cant be "on paper" comparisons , only real world tests of both chargers.
Oh
Well im not baggin on precision by any means, they make a fantastic product! I am just a garrett fan, i like the way the garrett's sound and feel, I've planted my butt in seats powered by many different chargers, i always will point the garrett out as my favorite? Go figure.

we tested several similar chargers in one day, same truck same dyno and the precision made the most power by far.
Some say the ETR wheel was made to resemble the GTX wheel but comes in a charger more cost friendly. 
This topic reminds me of the pros and cons of differant types of cams, some cams produce tons of power, but where and how?
How driveable is the precision turbo?
How driveable is the precision turbo?
It was as drivable as a standard 42, batmo 75, etc. it made around 50+ hp in lower rpm ranges and over 100 at 3800+
You do know that the GTX wheel design ( or any 10-11 blade comp wheel ) is a high pressure design right ? From the mapping it flows no more air down low than the cast wheel does , it just excels in the higher pressure ranges but flows no more down low ( maybe even less ) , I believe the precision runs a 6 blade wheel which would provide way more air in the lower PR's / RPM's which equates to better drivability , the turbo I mentioned earlier runs a 7 blade billet wheel design which there claiming is capable of running big air in the high PR's and still provide good airflow in the lower PR's , our S371 runs a 7 blade billet wheel also and it seems to hold true to there claims .
