7875 looked pretty good
But, what is the price difference for the power gained, and does it align with the build goals (is growth needed, or just paying extra)?
~700hp out of a 4.8L with a discount turbo is an incredible ROI.
The S475 was obviously the wrong choice for the 4.8L... silly T6.
That's because your old AF :-/
p.s. - you really didn't need me to point that out did ya? And all turbos need to be T6's - c'mon man - get real!
Old, eh? Don't make me take my shirt off...
T6s on a bigger engine for sure. I am just highlighting what can make for a great budget combination. The GT45 has a very obvious ceiling... but, you can have a pretty tame and enjoyable result from using one. Somehow needing a 4500-5000rpm converter to run a T6 turbine housing on a 4.8L doesn't feel like a compromise I want to make in a street car - and is the point Mr. Holdner was making.
You’re definitely correct. I was just taking shot - I guess because I had an extra round to spare .
A 7875 is big on a 4.8 for street driving only build afaic.
All out 1/4 mile time and street driving are different cams and turbski for sure. I was just having fun.😜

Grinder and paint...
Don't get too excited - I am not grinding it all down. Just the most ugho of the welds in my area of operation.
Bzzt!
And tacked in. It does kick back towards the gas tank due to the monstrous sway bar hanging off the differential - hope it is enough.
Upper cross bar is next.

Nope just an additional chassis brace.
