When is that 408 coming?
I just bought a Precision pt76 gt-s trim .96 a/r for my 6.0L.
When I saw what yours did I was sold on going with a turbo. Having mine torn down already definately helped.

.96 A/R may be restrictive on that big an engine. We're using a 1.28 on Curt's truck. If anything it will spool like crazy, but it may limit peak power. Congrats on going to turbo.

Thanks. I'm just playing and learning. If it's not what I want then I can always swap. yeah, that 1.28 exducer is nuts on that 5.3. It still cut good 60' times though.
