The APS Extreme has worked pretty good on a couple cars with the GTM 4.2 stroker kit. If you search the FI section for threads started by Nitrousz you should find his thread about his build and some dyno numbers. I think GTM's car did 855whp with the 4.2/APS Extreme combo. As far as your power levels, who knows. It all depends on if you will run pump/race gas, meth, boost levels, etc. You should make some great numbers though with your setup.

depends, if you want top end power or a good power curve, the APS Extreme is too laggy when compared to the regular kit, or better yet get a Greddy, much better responding than he APS Extreme.

We have used the AEBS 4.3L kit before, and I think the APS extreme would be a great match to it.

What are your goals for the car - daily driver, drag race, etc?

I would agree with you if you're talking about stock 3.5L displacement. My understanding from GTM is that the Extreme kit responds well with a stroker kit.

What sized turbos does the Extreme kit use? I was given the impression that it used one of the GT28's Garrett offers.

I asked Sam at GTM some questions about the Extreme kit back in May. This was his response to me via PM about the size of the turbos:

"the turbo in aps extreme kit are 50/lb per mint they a hybrid gt3071 ,aps always try to confuse us by mixing things around."
