Strong turbo there -- gonna be big to spool. I vaguely remember something like that turbo supports over 1000hp but the sweet spot is 700-800hp. Unless I'm confusing that with another innovative monster.

it was the one recommended to me by Jose at forcedinductions. i'm hoping the lag is not too bad.

Mike is running a p88 on his 408 and there isnt much lag at all. I think that you shoudl be fine. That turbo is going to have so much load on it, it will always be spoolin

Here is the thing.The 408ci will make as much power as you are now without the Turbo.So,how do you figure it will feel like a dog with lag?With the right Cam there will be barely any but all Turbo's need to spool which is easy to anticipate. If you want earlier power you run the right Cam. Mikes car only has a 218/230 Cam in it.It idles at 650rpm like a car with just a Cat back exhaust.Very stealth
