Default S480 88/96 1.32

Looking at building a 370 for this turbo but 6.0's are not so easy to come by around the area.
I have a 5.3 complete but likely will need a complete rebuild anyways. So i am asking for opinions as to what CI this turbo would best suite 370 - 383 - 402 - 408
I am aiming for 900-1000 rwhp but i need to run 93 octane as the nearest E85 is rpughly 1.5hr to me

Like i said im just looking for some more opinions on this

I would just run a 370 personally. That way you can utilize the stock crank and keep the cost down a little bit. It will support 1000whp just fine. Also, if you weren't planning on it already, I would just run meth on your car. You can order the big cans of them from VP racing, and they will last a while. That will be fine to support your power goals.

Plus, then you can be cool like all the other guys and lie and say it's just on "pump gas" when in reality you are spraying like 30GPH of meth into the car. lol. Sorry I had to say it.

Have you reached out to anyone making 1000 whp on 93 pump gas or done research as to what setups support that?
