Looking Good!! Nice to see decent size twins around here.

Should be plenty fast, manual car went 4's with twin 78's, a glide combo should stroke.

Nice set up! What exact s485s? Have a buddy with a similar car and 388" as well and Forced Inductions spec'd out some 80/93s for him. I feel like a traditional 85/96's would be way too big for 388" but maybe not?

He's asking which turbine wheel, you can get the S400 with a tial housing with anything from an 74/83 to 88/96 wheel.
