Unless.... I think you should buy another TC78 and make a nasty twin setup!!! That would be 2,000hp+ Outlaw 10.5 here you come!! JK
I actually have a TC78 on order with Dr. Turbo to use on my 370ci LQ9, anxious to see what she will be like!!!

My car makes some nasty power for a daily driver. I still have my tc76 hmmmm.
Forcedinductions sent me a new spring 2nd day air free of charge. I will see what it will do this sat. weather permitting.

The TC series T4 turbo are bad little units. Easy to package and yeild a quick aggressive spool up. My old shop car was wicked fun on the street with a set of 315/35/17 BFG DR's on 17x11 ZR1's.
Here is a vid of a few passes it made. All of them were on the ZR1's and BFG DR's

The TC78 will make 14lbs on a 402, but you will need to check backpressure. Also you can go with really large A/R. I would suggest a ST76 if you want a T4 that will go a little better on a 402. Though the TC is EASY to package.

I also placed an order for the TC78 and was looking to see juse exactly what ppl were putting down with it. Im on an LT1 with only 355cubes so I figure the TC series would be a good fit.

I have been running a turbo set up on the street for a couple of years at around 11# of boost. (no track around here) I decided this year to up the boost, I replaced the tc 76 with the new tc 78. Put some slicks on & found some secluded roads.
Well I could not get to 15#'s so I replaced the MBC with one that I know is good. I finally got to about 16 on my guage but I have yet to hit 210 KPA on HP Tuners? It hits 205 which doesn't jive with my guage right? It makes some nice power but I am wanting more. LOL
My question is can I be out of turbo? I have a 347 with afr heads, a nice free flowing kit with open down pipe. Here is another piece of the puzzle, I am at around 3500 to 4000 feet in elevation.
All my pipes are nice & tight, I don't think I have any leaks.

Runs like a raped ape. Just didn't have a strong enough spring the the WG. I was having issue with spark blowing out. It ran a 6.1 in the 1/8 so it will be in the 9's next time. It ran this number cutting out in third. https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...ighlight=78+tc
