From what I understand they are not as reliable due to that I will we will be close to over spinning them and the exhaust wheel is smaller. The 55-88's will be in the sweet spot all the time. Sure they smaller 47 will spool a little quicker, however our upgrades on the motor will spool the 55's with out issue's.

We've been 7.8 @ 179mph @ 3650# with LS2Formula's car on a 275 tire. 422ci LSX w/ twin TC78's. No ballbearings. Recently upgraded to the PT7675's and expect to drop a 1/10 or 2 atleast. Camaroandreas is making 2Khp with a similar combo and running 6's in the 1/4 with a lightweight race chassis. 88's seem way overkill.
To run in the 7.0's range in the 1/4 We need appx. 2250 fwhp @ 3300lbs. Twin pro mod 88's are good for 3000hp. I dont want to have a set of turbo's that we are maxing out or having to watch shaft speed on. We will have some room to grow as well with the twin 88's. Still doing some research, however with the motor upgrades we r doing twin 88's should be a great combo.

Its been awhile since I updated this project. I had to put it on hold for a few months, but we are back on it. We will be unveiling this car towards the end of the year and ready for the 2013 LSX Shootout opener @ Bradenton. I will have the car back in my shop as a complete roller ready for us to install the motor/tranny, and twin turbo setup in appx 8 weeks. Here is a few updated pics. This chassis is utilizing all the stock suspension location mounting points as well.
