I, like you, started with the GT and ended up building new inventory to literally build a new foil set.

I have the GT & Race (ish) setups. Here's my inventory:
MAST: 85cm & 110cm
FUSE: 75cm & 115cm
WING: 800 & 1100
STAB: 255 & 330

I've ridden most combinations above (let's not consider the mast for below recommendations)
FUSE: 115 (Awesome stability)
--Best light wind: 1100wing & 255stab (best light wind combo. I can lift with my SS 86 counterparts in the same wind)
--Best speed: 800wing & 255stab (have to put the mast track forward, but this does go faster)
--Not good (Works): 1100wing & 330stab (Too much pitch resistance, or overly stable. I damn near have to run to the front of the board to pitch it down. I need to do more testing in light winds)
--Bad: Any front wing & the 500 stab (someone in the bay area tried this and bent their fuse)

FUSE: 75 (sensitive stability) - much harder to learn on
--Best light wind: 1100wing & 330stab (works well, twitchy, but great for jumping and freestyle stuff) I use my 85cm mast on this mostly
--Best speed: 800wing & 255stab (Original GTR)

MASTS:
--110cm (Love this because you can go fast or slow and deal with gusts easily. Lots of room to maneuver and be sloppy without landing or breaching. It does take a little more rear foot pressure/power to lift. This also works best in larger waves when trying to blast so you won't breach or touch down)
--85cm (I used this for colder months (don't have to go too far into the water) mostly. I also like this paired with the GT setup (800w/255s/75cm Fuse) for fast freestyle maneuverability, jumping, etc)

So, based on what you asked:
Get a 1100 wing. The 1000 isn't all that much of an upgrade, why not just get the 1100? provides maxim lift in lighter winds. My speed differential between the 800 and 1100 isn't all that different (maybe a few knots?). But the 1100 will lift faster/earlier than the 1000 and there isn't much difference in speed trade offs. Make a super light wind kit with this one.
Also get a 255 stab. If you want a little more pitch input on the 1100, it can help. I've not tried that combo with a 95cm fuse. Buy the 1100 first, and see how the pitch stability is. It might work well if paired with the 330 stab.

Other options down the road: the 115cm fuse is lots of fun. But if you're dealing with hitting waves/breaching in troughs, get a longer Mast.

The SB GTR+ comes standardwise with a 800 wing, a 330 stab and 95+ fuse. I had many sessions in like 11-20 knots with sails 4,7, 5,7 and a 7.0 foil sail. All on the SB 125 freeride board.

Now i ask myself, how to upgrade the wings as budgetfriendly as possible (that means change 1 wing rather than 2, front and rear). What SB wing combinations work, which don't? Especially I'm interested to sail in a even lower windrage than 11 knots.

Does for example 1000/330/95+ work? Or do I have to change rear wing to?

Just to open the discussion - starting from the SB gtr+ kit. Feel free to write your experiences with other wing upgrades that work, doesn't matter if its to be faster or for stronger winds - whatever. I'm interested, others might be too.

Hi - I have sailed all season with the 95+ fuse with the 1100 Freeride front wing and the 330 rear wing. (I'm using the 95cm carbon mast).
I think this is a great combination on my SB 150L Freeride foilboard. I cruise with roughly 17-19 knots and when I push hard I get to 20-22 knots.

Just posting a couple more pics now that I have seen the 95+ fuse.
Its interesting that the 95+ and 115 have almost the same forward wing position. It would be reasonably easy to convert an old 115 into a 95+

Hey - which version of the 115 fuse are you using?
Im thinking of getting a 115 cm fuse for my 1100/255-2 wings. I know the ++ moves the front wing forward.

Coming back to this thread, as foil season begins here again for me. I might have the opportunity to get a 255 -2 tail wing.

As stated from some of you, 255 works well with 800/900 and 95+ fuse. Will the 255 -2 tailwing be too much downward angle for 95+ fuse? Rather go with normal 255? Am I right? cheers

+1 shim or 0 shim.
I guess the - shims (-2,-1.5,-1,-0.5) are too much minus in total. Thats why im sceptical
