any of you small motor big turbo guys have a hard time spooling? if so what did you do to help it? I have been told to check the WG

Maybe choose a better turbo for the combo? lol Or change the combo around the turbo.

Rickys S/C Z28

iTrader: (13)

im open to that but we will see were this one end up. im sure it will work out

As I am sure you have been told there is alot that can be done in the tune to help it out. That turbo has a big exhaust side for a 347 to move without a trick converter.

yeah phill will do what he can with the tune.

So for the people that dont know exactly everything.. can you give me a quick run down on the specs for this?... engine,trans,turbo, yada yada... thats lots of turbo.. .esp with a 1.32 hotside??.... mine did pretty well with a 1.1 ...

yeah it a 9:8:1 forged LS1 with stockish 317 heads a 232/241 .595/.608 114 LS1 cam. 4l80 with a 3800 converter. turbo is an S85.

13.5:1 CR and some very good fuel should do it

joking aside, i would play around with the tune and get a better matching converter

good luck

What's the a/r on the turbo?

Rickys S/C Z28

iTrader: (13)

A/R on it is 1.32

With that size turbo on the motor, I'd say that's a big problem all in itself. Do you know anyone that will swap out housings with you so you can see the difference?

quick spool valve?

Exhaust housing is not divided.
