Stupid Idea or Possibility

Ok as some of you have seen my build I have a question about spooling the twin 76's. I have completed the build I am getting ready to put some exhaust on it. My question is if I put a more restrictive system on it do you think it will help spool. I do not think I am going to have and issue with back pressure but I could be wrong. The system has not been run yet.

I would not restrict the exhaust but I have seen guys make plates that slightly reduce the size of the turbo inlet flange (by like 20-30%) and it greatly helped them spool faster.

Back pressure after the turbo = slow spool

I'm running 76's 0.81ar with 428 cubes....takes a lot to spool them for the dragstrip...If you have a 347...do some serious homework on the turbines.

I am going to go with a 4" all the way back, so no restrictions there. I really do not want to spray cause I just don't want spend anymore money.... I may run it and see what happens and go from there.

Do not run TOO large of a system BEFORE the turbo is the point he's making. Theoretically it will be more area where exhaust will be before it is pressurized when it hits the turbine. If you find a happy medium, you will see an increase in spool time. I know because I had LT's on the TA, and went with manifolds and it spooled quicker. The volume needing to be compressed (or back pressured in this case) is smaller, so it forces the wheel to turn sooner.
