Props to ForcedInductions.com (Dr. Turbo) Not only did they quote me a great price to upgrade my S475 to a billet S480, I sent it to them and they received it on Monday. I called today and they've already got it apart and machined, just waiting for the billet wheel then it'll get balanced and sent on back. For anyone out there who is thinking about this upgrade I've got nothing but good things to say thus far. Hell, they actually answer their phone, that's a rarity in this business it seems!
Ran a 5.67 on the s475 with the gates pinned shut on a 370 w/stock heads on 93+meth, can't wait to see what the FI billet S480 can do!

5.67 isn't too bad for a car that is driven to the track in race trim with a/c, radio, etc. the little 75 was just running out of steam and dr. turbo made me a deal i couldn't refuse.

I cant wait to see how much it picks up. The car is fly now so after you test it on pump /meth I would go right to the C16. I did the whole pump /meth thing almost 20 years ago long before they even had kits for it and its cool but it can also bite you. I would go for the C16 and turn it up. Your car is going to be a monster on the good stuff.

My s10 ran 5.70's and was gutted and backhalved and sprayed a bunch of nitrous on it. It was trailered to the track, lol. A few years ago 8's were fast, now they seem to be the norm. You car is definately impressive if you drive it to the track and with ac, then back home.

I just did a little more research on the S488 last night and I'm not impressed. I'm back on the fence after seeing that it's pretty much a lateral move from the PT88. That is not my objective. I need something that makes another 300 hp over what I got or I'm not gonna go thru the effort to switch it over.

ya, i hear about people going faster with the 75's, but most of them are not street cars with a/c and interior, etc. i might have been able to squeeze a little more out with a better converter, but for the cost of this upgrade it was the best option for me!

Yeah the 475 on one of our customers car has been high 5.3X's. But they are real street purpose built cars. Our BW476R on a customers car has been 5.2's and as of last year it was the fastest real street turbo car. This year we plan to push some new #'s with some new stuff. . I will say we will be pushing to break into the 4.9's with a 76 this year.
