Tell me about a T4 single kit and 390 cubic inches.......not good....?

Huron mentioned it was too many cubes and too high of compression which will cause too much back pressure. That sucks because I must keep A/C.....and their T6 TT and T6 single kits delete A/C.

I think it should work. You can get the S475 or S480 with a 92 or 96mm turbine wheel T4 should do 800 no problem. I'm making 800rw on a 364 with s475 baby 83 mm turbine and about a mile of 4" exhaust tubing.

i think your fine, im running hurons v1 a/c kit onna 416ci, i called liljohn and he specd out a compact cover s480 with 96mm wheel and he said it should be good to around 9-1k wheel... which is alotta power considering my setup.. it should be running sometime soon ill post results. on a 390 a pt88 will meet yours goals 100%
i was in the same boat as you, have to keep a/c to be able to enjoy street driving it, the hoes dont like sweatin, or the window down lol

I did.....just wanted to here some other opinions about T4 with 390 cubes. Or if anyone has used T4 with similar cubes.

Why are you stuck on a 390? You could easily make your power goal on a t4 with a factory 6.0, 5.3, even 4.8.
If your really stuck on a 390... then why stay T4?
That said I'd guess a 1.25 T4 S400 series with the 96mm exh wheel paired to an 80+mm compressor could do it. You should be making 450+whp with a 390 anyway. You wouldn't need much boost to hit 800.

My new fully forged iron 390ci is already in my car.....been driving it for a year now.
I would go T6 for sure....but I need a kit that retains A/C.........

390 is definitely on the high side for the T4 set-up, but it can be done and I would only recommend going mid-frame.... too much for a standard T4 with the 3" down pipe. With the mid-frame and the 4" bumper exit down pipe we can probably get away with it and meet your goals, but you won't have a lot of room to grow in the future like you would with the T6 or Twin Kit, however you will have A/C.
You could fab up some exhaust off a cutout on the bumper exit but finding a way to get exhaust to the back will be very tricky from there as you have your A/C compressor and all of the other piping already on the drivers side.
Each kit has a little sacrifice here or there to best meet your goals and keep the kit easy to install while retaining as many features as possible.
T4 A/C kit requires turbo K-member and limits your turbo choices on your engine set-up. Also for your goals requires the bumper exit exhaust.
T6 kit keeps factory K-member, lots of good turbo choices, requires bumper exit exhaust.
Twin kit requires turbo K-member, insane amount of turbo choices, runs exhaust out the back

A 3" down pipe will defeat the purpose of going with the larger mid-frame turbo as it will immediately choke it out. For the Mid-frame stuff like the PT88 or a BW, the 4" down pipe is required.
