Default S400SX-80 ET-R HO Billet w/ Race Cover

Just wanna get some open opinions about about this turbo, im starting off with a stock 5.3L but will upgrading to a 370 or 390 in 4-6 months. ive heard good things about this turbo, but just wanna make sure i won't have to buy another turbo down the line, also would like to know some facts or opinions on this turbo vs the gt91.

Great unit for 1000-1200 hp at the flywheel. The 91 will go further but how much do you really want to make?

Ill be happy with 1000 +/- 50 to the wheels after the 370/390 swap, with the 5.3 600+ is the goal

The cast 80 will make 1000 to the wheels but you will be pushing it, the 80 will be in its sweet spot at that level.

Car is still being built but I plane to put down about 950 to the tires around 20psi... going to run a little more cubes in the future and try to make around 1200

Pm me if you do!! Im selling a bunch of parts in the next day or two to fund my build. Turbo is the first part. I will be purchasing one in the next couple Weeks for sure if your serious?
I hear that 84 is nasty! Id look into it if my class rules allowed the billet wheel over 83mm.
