Default Bw s480 ls1

Hey guys, just looking to get thoughts on running an S480 on an iron block ls1.

Turbo Specs are :

Compressor Wheel: 80mm
Compressor Housing: Race Cover (9.5") V-Band / Hose
Turbine Wheel: 96mm
Turbine Housing: T6
Turbine A/R: 1.32

If anyone has any experience with using one I would greatly appreciate any input! Thanks

Check Out Matt Happel's Turbo LQ4 Colorado at the Sloppy Mechanics YouTube page. It made over 1000WHP using an s480 and a tiny shot of N2O on a stock bottom end.

Google could've given you that info. There are probably 1000 S480/LS combos.
