I dont have any room whatsoever in the front so this was my only option really. It may not be very effective but i have a meth kit on it aswell to help. Keep in mind its my weekend goof off toy and not a daily. It hardly see's 1500 miles between yearly inspections.

I'm not knocking on you. Just saying I love rat motors. I support anyone that has this hobby.

ive driven the truck about 100 miles now and everything is working good EXCEPT this HUGE turbo..... i should have known better than to try this thing on a 4.8.

its a borg warner s480 with racecover and has the 96 wheel and a t6 1.32 housing. it wont make boost on this little motor til i see 4400+ rpm and then it goes nuts and just blows tires away when in boost.....

im changing my t6 flange back to a t4 and throwing a 76mm on it and go have some fun.

I run the Sam turbo but with a t4 housing on a 6.0 im in boost about 1k before yours. My cheap on3 small turbo was more fun on the street. Had instant boost.

Very nice! What made you go from the FAST to the Holley intake? Looking forward to seeing the numbers you put down.

i have a 6.0 on the stand doing a build at the moment that i want to swap out over the winter. i figured if im gonna shove 20+ lbs through the 6.0 that id be a little skeptical of the fast intake being plastic.
