Oh, look! Another expert!
Did you happen to read the thread and see that the owner specifically wanted smaller turbos to help with street drivability?
For the last time, this is NOT a race car. We are not aiming for 2000 rwhp. This will be a daily driven street car with air conditioning. The power goal before this build began was only 850 rwhp. Looks like a decent choice of turbos to me. We were well aware of backpressure before we even started this build. I hate to sound cocky, but this isn't our first time at the fair.

I posted that map of 66's on your combo. As you can see from the red plot line, they're just about as perfect match as you could possibly find.

Speaking of backpressure have you guys installed a gauge? curious to see where it's at?
btw, based on the graph he posted...I think he was being sarcastic.

Sounds like an awesome ride; I luv fast turbo trucks! I've got a twin-turbo'd 408 going into my little old all-wheel-drive GMC right now. Imagine Parish's truck, but over 1000# lighter

Street videos will be posted by the end of the day... hopefully.
I've been promoted! I clean the windows now, too. I'm also the one in charge of lighting customer cars on fire when they owe us money.
I'm not talking to you anymore...

You know I once paid a shop in full while dropping my vehicle off because I was being deployed for 4 months and didn't want to be "that guy" who hasn't paid. That didn't end up too well either as it just sat there until I got back and then they were full of excuses as to why they couldn't get around to it.
