Which Turbine housing should I run?
Which Turbine housing should I run? I am moving my GT-88 up front. I have two different turbine housings for it. One is a T-6 flanged 1.08 AR with a 5" outlet, and the other is a PT T-4 flanged .96 AR with a 4" outlet.
The 408 made 844rwhp with the GT-88 .96 T-4 mounted on the rear of the car, but the spool was terrible. I am moving the turbo up front and my new power goal is 1000rwhp, and I want little to no lag. It has to spool fast enough to work with the tree. I have a Two Step, and a Transbrake already.
Thanks for your input.

Why the T-6? I DO NOT want lag. Our tree is really fast, I think .5 seconds from when the last person turns his light on. No time to play. I plan to shift between 6500 and 7000rpm too.
With a good converter a 1.08 t6 will spool plenty fast for a tree upfront on a 408. Putting a t4 housing on it is just going to limit top end HP.
You should not have any problem spooling that turbo with a T-6 1.08. I was able to spool (and race) a 101mm 1.32 A/R G-trim with a 364 cu in in 2008. made about 1400bhp. When you move everything...if it doesn't spool fast enough..it's in the tune, converter or both.

Thanks Shawn. I was goning to order your turbo headers hot side kit, but Friday, Dec. 31, 2010, I lost the wheels studs on the rear drivers side tire, lost control and hit a pole! So now the money I was going to use to get your kit with, I will have to use to pick up another roler. Ed saw the picks in my other post. Pretty nasty. So maybe later in the year I will have recovered enough to order them. For now I am going to have to just run the cast manifolds. 
I am going to move that cam back to 0 degrees installed Advance. Sound good?
Man I really want a set of that turbo headers! Hummmmmm.

Stock manafolds will do the same over tube headers. If tube headers is what u want then it would add bling over the manafolds. I wanted tube headers also but hell if 6.0 manafolds can put a car into 7's then Im not going to reinvent the wheel.

i usually run the cam on a 109 icl.
You are right about that. It scared the cr@p out of me. No cage in it at the time. For the next three nights all i could dream about was what could have happened if the pole hit three more feet to the rear! It is getting a full cage now.
I will install it on a 109.
Thanks.
