That's a big single charger on a VP truck.

That's way too hot... something isn't right. If I pedal mine just right I can cruise 65-70mph on a good flat stretch @ about 650* and I can hit 1000* if I'm careless passing cars, uphill, at highway speeds... with setup in my sig.

63mm would make a good charger for a single now and for twins later. engineered diesels will work for 550-600 as a single, spool faster then a 62, flow more then a 64 and i've seen it make 890 at the tires as a compound set up with i believe an 47?.
