2 40's cost ~$120 more than one 60.

That difference doubles when you go up to the next size 4x mm.

Bigger turbine is the way to go.

....I was talking about 2 60mm's and a small turbine to achieve great spooling and to uncork the topend.

Now as far as intakes go, GMMP/VIc Jr and elbow setup or just stick with an Ls6 or fast? Been reading that the Ls6 and Fast' composite material doesn't like boost pressure much..

I have a 402 and had that exact turbo, s400sx3 - 76mm and 80mm with the 87/81 turbine and it was great. 800hp all day with the 76 and drove great! Top end was also fine, but I shifted at roughly 6200.

I have a 365 with a .96ar 98mm turbine. It would be nice to have it spool a bit faster on the street. But when it comes down to it the 370 motors are a little bit stronger

Not to stray from the topic, but from all this im getting that a 408 might be to big for an s480?

I'm kicking around the idea of boost.From what i gather i will need to swap my pistons in my 408ci out to change compression.What pistons and rings are yall using?Also while the motor is tore down what else should be done?Rebuild?

I have a 408 with the BW 88mm turbo with a 1.45 AR T6 flange. It does not build boost really early but keeps pulling up to where I shift it at 6800 rpm.

The car has a powerglide in it and weighs about 2400 lbs.


I also have the Victor JR. and elbow set up.
