Default AWD Nova 6.0 S257 turbos

Im finally getting my Nova back on the road. The updates are a Dana 30 with locker and Motive axles up front and a Syclone/Typhoon/Astro van transfer case. TH350 and L92 headed LS2 block with LQ4 rotating assembly This video is 10psi and low timing, it spins the first bit, I need to play with timing down low to keep it from spinning as much. Im hoping I can put Nitto drag radials all around and hook on a lot more power. Currently its 275-60-15 all around, MT DR in back and regular BFG in front.

How do you like the 257's on the 6.0. How does it spool?

They spool pretty good with the AGP .63 turbine housings. They don't spool very good with the .83 BW housings, I wouldn't recommend them unless you're getting AGP housings.

They spool almost exactly the same as the PT7675 I had on this engine for a few years but have less back pressure.

Thanks for the replies! I got a 2.9 0-60(2.6 with 1 foot rollout) on my vbox, surprisingly hard to get it rolling from a stop on crappy country roads. Im excited to get Nitto DR on all four corners and get on some clean concrete! This was leaving on 1# boost going up to about 8#.
