Default Turbonetics hurricane series 7868 too much for 4.8???

Hey guys im lookin at purchasing a turbonetics hurricane benita 7868. its got a 78mm compressor wheel with the f1 68mm turine wheel. Will this be too much for my stock block 4.8? My goal is to run low 11s then go with a bigger motor that I can still use this turbo on

I would say its just fine. I'm pretty sure its basically a TC78 with a bigger cover, which people user on 5.3Ls all the time.

Well my 72mm/Q went 10.68 at 19psi dropping to 17. So if your setup right, a 72,76, or 78 will work fine for your low 11 goals. Also that F1 wheel likely flows better then the 67mm MP turbine wheel.

Keep us posted man, looks forward to reading about another fast 4eight!
