ugghhh! That's one thing I DON'T miss about my C5 vette, and I was making a measely 800rwhp in comparison to what your car is capable of! Went through 4 driveline failures in a year and decided it's time to go f-body solid axle. But all that aside, that is an absolutely sick setup! Congrats on going outside of the box and having great success at doing so!

ive got nearly the same setup with diamonds and AFRs....
im going to try an S85 i think though. i wonder what the spool difference will be. i just hope im not undercutting the size though. i just think the s88 has more than ill ever use seeing as the s85 already is making over 1000rwhp. s91 is just stupid

Thats part of the reason i sold my S88 and went bigger....

i really want to avoid BP issues, but on the other hand, this isn't a max effort setup. the car is 95% street, and i want the setup to spool as good as it can.
i dont want to sound like a broken record, but im looking for an easy 750-800rw on low(er) boost. something like 10-12psi on pump and lowish timing. im told the s85 has made 1000rw on a 408, which is something im looking for if i feel the need to turn it up. im obviously looking to keep the heads and IATs down, but not at the cost of shitty spool. this is a 6sp btw.
nasty, i just think you have bad BP luck. lol. or maybe your builders put a stroker in there and didnt tell ya

Yes Slowhawk on this board is running one of our S85's. Not sure what power numbers he has put down, but I know his setup was BRUTAL on the street.
ive talked to jose on the phone and DrTurbo through various pm's. I'm open to all suggestions here though....so if you have thoughts, by all means... i actually called up to order the turbo a couple hours ago (still VERY uncertain between the s85 and s88, but leaning towards 85)

If its going to be 95% street then go with the S85.... it will spool like a beast and boost will come in really quick with your cubes. I dont see 800rwhp being a problem esp. thru a 6 speed.

id like to be approaching 800whp at lower boost.... from what i can tell 1000whp shouldnt be too much of a chore if i was trying for it. there will be track days with the car

I heard one of our customers today made over 800+rwhp on pump gas and low boost with an S91 today. He is on this board......it was posted on another board, so I will see if he wants to post it here.

Would like to see more of the downpipe, along the fire wall and passenger side...if at all possible. Curious as well if the AC still works?
Regardless, the car is pretty sick. Had the same idea of shrinking the radiator and increasing depth for a while now,..but using a different intercooler setup then the one you have.
