This is the aftermath. Tough to see but the tips of the compressor wheel have gone AWOL. The worst one must be up to because it is missing like .5-.75 of an inch

Congrats on the 11!

I'm curious, do you need the VVT for pulling workstock? Why not switch to a regular turbo since you have the foundation for a really strong truck?

I don't need the vgt for anything really. I like the drivability of it but the main reason I am keeping with it is the $$ aspect. To upgrade my charger to a 72 will be around $600+ shipping. To switch to a GT4202R I would be in the $4700 range and I don't think the PPE kit comes with an intake. And it is way more work to switch.

True. Much cheaper since you already have the 4094.
FWIW, a billet s472 is around 1100. :D

whats wrong with a vvt charger?

Everything. lol.

You are very biased against the VGTs lol. I talked to Mark yesterday. I know he made 894hp on this 72. I have high hopes to make over 800 on fuel only. If that doesn't happen then I will be looking into fixed vane. And I know the S472 is cheaper than the 4202 but, if I'm going to do it, I'm going all the way. A lot of the cost is the install kit. The difference in charger prices isnt a killer. If it was as simple as bolting on a 4202 I would have already done it.
