Default S480 w/Race Cover or Without?

Anyone with ACTUAL results between the two? Worth the almost $400 upgrade option? I'd like to use this turbo on the 370 but have my eye on the GT91 also (since the S480 + Race cover is just slightly less). What do ya'll think?

Are those claims assuming the compressor is maxxed out between the two? I plan on running less than what this unit is capable of I'm just looking for efficiency and room to grow and not sure if it's worth dumping an extra $389 into vs. A standard cover.

I have the race cover on my 475. Glad the only reason I got it was because it was free. Dont waste your money

Depends on how much power you are wanting to make. If you are going to be maxing turbo at 23+psi than yes.

Don't think I can justify it man, honestly. It's kind of an overkill for my goals if you can believe that! LOL

No kidding huh? Wonder why people are charging so much for a piece of cast aluminum.

Damn bro, didn't even see your post, sorry for not responding. I sent you a txt yesterday, never heard back. Figured you'd be the guy to talk to about it since you've ran both on your setup. Picked up some moly rings for the LQ4, shoot me a message when you get a chance bro!

Txt U back!
Id go S475 unless wanting over 850 RWHP then go S480. If wanting to push 80 to limits go with the race cover. 80 gains more than 75 with race cover because it taxes cover more but unless pushing turbo I doubt you will notice.
