with that transbrake and stall, with a 2 step.. that thing should be nasty!!!
Might take a second to build boost, or put nitrous on it to help it off the two step..
Prolly wanna talk to Foose on that one tho i cant rem what size turbo he has on the 4.8.

I think Foose is running the 11 blade billet 75 mm with small turbine and its stupid fast at 15 psi the last I seem him talk about it. I think your headed in the right direction though!

call forced inductions, hes done 4 turbo 4.8 builds all in the 750-850rwhp range. You pretty need the 75 ex wheel with a 1.10ar if u wana make over 750rw. 75 compressor should let u hit 1000hp.
