Default 370 lq4 99 z28 build

First off Im new to Forced Induction
My 6.0 is built and ready for a turbo
However up in the air on what to choose from
Im really thinking hard about the s480
I wanna make 1000rwhp, but track times will be main focus
Im prob gonna do the s480 with Huron Speed T4 truck manifold setup
Or Will I need the T6 setup to run the s480?
Another thing, I have ARP bolts right now, should I take them out and put in studs?

- 317 heads
- Edelbrock Pro Flo intake
- Wiseco pistons
- Lunati rods
- Tsp custom grind cam
- Arp main, head, and rod bolts
- 9.5:1 compression

Also thinking about running 1000cc injectors bc 93 octane/meth kit

Really wanting some valuable info and opinions! Thanks

S480 w a t6 flange. a t4 flange will limit the exhaust housings to choose from and and be the choking point on your setup. Those i have seen going for 1000 whp tend to all have a t6

second vote for the T6, the 96mm turbine wheel and bullet compressor wheel from Jose should make your goal and still spool well.

Yes, arp head studs. With the quality of your build, the studs are necessary.

Your head gaskets will be fine just swap the bolts out for studs. Also I sent you a pm with a couple questions on your pistons and rods.

Is the 1000cc injectors necessary or could I get away with 80lbs?

I would suggest the 1000s

The bigger you can find/afford the better.

What is your fueling setup going to be?

I would suggest a Lonnies Double in-tank setup. Use a hobbs switch for the second pump to activate when the motor sees at least 4-5PSI boost. Each pump connecting with a Y into a -10an feed that runs through a good filter then up to the engine compartment, Y the feed line into the back of each billet fuel rail, then -6 or -8an lines from the front of each rail into the side ports of a boost referenced FPR ( I liked the aeromotive ), then a -6an line back to the tank. Or you can use the factory feed line as the new return line to the tank.

You're really going to stick with pump gas, right? Don't skimp on your fuel setup.
