Help with turbo decision (real world)

I'm stuck between a bw s475 1.32 or the vs racing 88mm pt88 copy. I have a lq4 370, l92 heads, plan on ljms stage 3 cam, csu blow thru. Th400 with brake, 3.25 gear. 3000# car. 80% race 20% street. Anyone with real world experience? Looking for 850hp at the tire.

Denmah used the PT88 and i know he had issues with his setup but he still didn't clear more than 700 ish to the tires. Id think 850 is pretty lofty for that turbo. Stick with the BW in my opinion

Denmah was also using a 5.3 with 862 heads, on 8 or 9 degrees of timing, pump gas, and a TH400 that may or may not have been giving him issues at the time. I think that the PT88 copy had a lot more in it.

I still recommend the BW though.

Too much camshaft for the VS racing 88/83 on a 6.0

If you do that turbo... use the stage 1.

For 850 to the tire... id be in an S480 just so you dont have to beat on it to make it.
