my s91 400cu spools at 3500, full boost by 4500. entirely different animal. power goes up and never falls to 7200rpm.

here is a video of the spool

this was a z06 making 760-780rwhp. he got the first move and is supercharged. your tune can help a little with spool also.
additionally i was 12psi of boost.

personally the pt88 is a poor turbo for out ls1. personally id would do a 76gts, it will make 750rwhp. if you want to go higher than that, get a T6 80mm, on these trucks you would never need anything bigger unless you want to put 1100+ hp to the ground.
Nice video! Right now I'm looking into a T6 S480.. that should be a pretty good combination on a 370 and help me reach my goals.

Is that boost creep in the vidoe or are you pattin the gas??

lol thats actually what happens when the return spring breaks on a throttle body, damn thing stuck open. good thing it was a clear open road in mexico.

that s480 will be much better than the pt88. good choice. whos building your 370?

Yeah you might as well be hauling around a pallet of bricks with those times






It would be interesting to see what a T6 version of your turbo would do to your track times, though. A dyno graph would tell the story a little better, but I hear you're not much of a dyno guy

Yeah it should be.. Just trying to decide if I need a quick spool valve or not. Probably going to have the kit built with a spacer so I could easily add one later on.

I'm not sure about the 370 yet. Know any good builders close by?

Yea it's a terrible thing lol only could muster 9.6 on it's 2nd pass ever, with a bunch of trans shifting, and traction probs lol. If I had got to fix the shift point's, and had a little water in the burnout box it would have been high 40's or 50's thru the full exhaust. If you pulled 5-600 lbs off the 4860 and the drag of 4x4 off things might get interesting for a boost only T4/Pt88 317 headed 370..lol
