Default Bw turbo 390 build

Hey guys I was wondering if my lq4 390 build along with a bw s484 will get me to my power goal. I have my eye on that turbo if not my 2ND option is the pte pro mod 88mm. I'm looking at hp wise 1200-1300+- pump gas e85 with a th400 with a 4k converter 3.90 in a 3rd gen. Time wise I'm aiming to go 4.9x-5.0's. I'm looking for more spool less lag as possible.

Your gonna have to max that s484 out to get there. I've seen almost 1300whp with a billet s485 and a v2 race cover on an all out drag race application. I believe that was at around 29psi.

O ok. See I'm thinking I would still have room left in the turbo and make plenty of power. I don't want to limit myself on my build

Yup. The s484 is probably good to about 1450 flywheel hp.
