Spec are Compressor TO4E T3/T4 54mm inducer 70mm exducer 3" inlet 2" outlet "57 trim??" Turbine 65mm inducer 56mm exducer Stage III 63 A/R housing.

I think you could run and spool 3-4 of those without a problem. Not a single for a v8 thats for sure.

Still far too small for a 408. The smallest I'd run would be something like twin 3082Rs or 35Rs. The 30s could probably push near 1000whp and spool really nice, the 35Rs would do it at less boost. (correct me if I'm wrong but the APS z06 kits use 35Rs, .63 turbine housing IIRC)
