Default How far will this Charger go?
Picked up the T4 96x132 VS Billet 80MM over the winter and it'll be going on very soon. The goal with the car is 5.30's at 2800-2900 RW which would put us at a REAL 875-900 wheel

L33
LJMS Stage 3 Turbo cam
241's
on3 kit with 4 inch A2A intercooler
LS6 Intake
Holley EFI
E85
Glide

Were thinking this charger will be right on the limits of being optimal which in our case wouldn't be a big deal because not wanting to go any further with the cert and going down the "Rabbit hole" we all know about but I've seen 1000rwhp on a 5.3 with the T6 version just wondering if that T4 will limit us to where where we want to be at the 850-900 mark

I was making around 1000rwhp on a 6.2 so with a 5.3 you should be fine.

Yeah Viren puts out a great product but I don't think it'll hold a candle to some of Jose's turbos

Yeah I've seen some results with the T6 just wondering where I'll find the limits of the T4 if I'm right at where I think it'll be done at

It'll literally be perfect

I talked to another guy that went 5.40s @ 129 with the T6 unit on a 4.8 at 3150lbs. You should be fine.

People have gone high fives at similar weight with a 78/75. He isn’t any faster than anybody else that had a good setup.
