Default S480 408 turbo question

I have a 408ci stroker ls and am going forced induction. Car is around 9.5:1 cr and my question is, will a s480 t6 1.1ar get me to my power goal of around 900whp? It's a six speed car that's why I was wanting to run the 1.1ar instead of 1.32 so it would have faster spool time. Its a street car as well. Has ported LS3 top end and a 102mm tb. 1 5/8 headers with 2.5" cross pipe and 4" down pipe.

Are they flipped shorty headers? Or are you considering a mid/rear-mount turbo?

Either way, yes, the t6 s480 can get you to 900rwhp through a 6spd.

Awesome. You think so even on 93 octane? And they're cxracing turbo headers for 240sx.

No way on 93 only. 93+meth should get you there as well as e85.

I got to 800 on low boost, 93 octane and 12psi on my 408 and s480 through an auto. Added the meth for cooling afterwards

96/1.32 would spool fine on a 408 if you do the crossover right.

We've done the back to back testing with 2.5 merged to 3 versus a fully divided to the flange 2.25 using a Borg Warner turbo. The fully divided crossover made the turbo respond right at 500 rpm sooner.
