Very nice. The 78mm S400-78 is a nice piece. We use them quite a bit.

That's a tribute to the borg warners. Extra 100hp in less favorable weather on the same boost...can't beat that

What was the timing difference between the last 2 runs with the S478?

Would it still make power to 7000 rpm?

Every degree of timing was worth 30 HP until I reached 668hp, then I added another degree and it made 685hp, after that I added another degree and it made 686hp,so I took the degree back out. I tried adding more timing up top so it carry to 7000, but did really help at all, maybe I didn't add enough, or maybe something else is going on. Cam and springs should definitely make power to 6500

Those BW turbos are journal aren't they? If so, that kind of flow minus a couple hundred RPM for full boost would make a badass setup.

What is your compression?

Running a 2 bar MAP sensor, I think its only good to a little over 14 psi, correct?

Yeah, if you turn the boost up it'll hold power higher into the RPMs. Engine shouldn't have any issue with that either. I tuned a 317-headed 5.3 with flat top pistons up to 18psi on 91 octane before it started picking up knock. Compression was just a hair over 9:1. That motor was nasty.

Sounds good, I will have to pick up a 3 bar sensor later and turn up the wick
