the compressor a/r is not as versatile as the turbine a/r. Basically, since the compressor side doesn't really change much in turbo dynamics, the turbo manufactures will leave it at a set "baseline".
However, the turbine a/r is where the magic is at and where the a/r talk is guided at.
The higher the ratio, the more peak power you will attain while compromising a bit of turbo response. The lower, well, you get the opposite....
Now, ppl are running a .96 single setup. On a twin, theoretically, you should expect that turbo to spool slower, corrrect? So, with a 408 twin setup, should you consider running a lower a/r (let say on a t70-t76) or stick with it .96 since the motor is also pushing alot more air per bank?
I would like to match a pair of super-t's t70's or t-72's .96a/r.

i had the .96 and i could not stand it - big lag but it made good power on top end. i switched to a .81 and it is much more fun , quicker boost just great on my auto trans daily driver car.

Really?? I'm running twin 67's with .96 A/R. Boost comes in at about 3500, carries to red line (what ever I want, right now 6800, but easily could be 7200). No problems what so ever on getting boost. NO LAG. Launch off trans-brake is fun again. My HP and times are in my signature.
