Default How much horsepower can you make with a TC76?

What is the horsepower potential of a TC76 with a .96 turbine housing? I emailed Turbonetics and they said 700 crank horsepower because of the small compressor housing. This doesn't sound right, isn't a TC76 capable of 900-950 crank horsepower?

I've been 129mph in a 4900lbs 4x4 truck with a Tc76, .96Ar. Thats showing a tad over 800Hp based off MPH VS weight. My 4x4 truck has to be loosing 4-5 mph over a rwd car at the same weight.

Wow that's impressive, how much boost did you need to run to make that kind of power? Also what was the spec's of the motor?

Thanks! It's between 14-15psi. The Tc76 is done at 15psi on my combo.
-370CI, 9.2:1
-Hand ported 317's
-Isky 215 cam
-Truck manifold, and TB.

I've gone as high as 136mph on my TC76 with a .81 exhaust. This was with a 4200lbs raceweight.

I'm shooting for over 140mph on the TC76 this year with a .96

Probably like 16psi. Boost is irrelevent.

It is except I noticed that you and stock48 have the same size motors except he has a different cam and ported heads and was curious at the boost difference between the two combinations to achieve your results.

His truck manifold kit most likely flows WAYYY better than my old STS kit as well. I'm going to max out this turbo this year and see what she'll do now that I did my own front mount kit.

You went 136 on a STS rear mount?

TC76/.96AR here, shooting for 700-725 RWHP through a 6 speed. 347" LS1, big heads, CheaTR cam, pump gas + meth.

Hopefully my 2900 lbs race weight will get me close to some of the excellent times posted here.

Should be pretty easily attainable. I'm at a lil over 600rwhp thru a 6 speed with junk stock 853s, stock ls1 intake, and an ittybitty t70. I'd love to put a good set of heads on this thing, ls6 intake and a TC76 of the same specs...one of these days.

Yep all my track times are from the STS rear mount, stock STS piping. Best ET was 10.4@134mph, best mph 136.

Hoping to better those by about 6-8 10ths this season after doing my own front mount kit.

My kit is a log manifold, completly different than the truck manifold F body kits. That was back when I had the smaller 2.5" log.

What difference would a 1.15 vs 0.96 AR housing make on a TC76 on a 370ci?
Spool time?
RPM difference?
HP capability?

Should give much better top end, I had a .96 on my 383 and it would fall over around 5k rpm, went to a 1.32 ar, spools dam ne'er as fast and pulls hard to the limiter 6700 rpm.
