have the chance to buy a s480 fairly cheap just wondering if I twinned it with my danville 72 if that setup would meet my goal of running 10s or if I should stick with my original 72/s483 plan

Steve Trojano went 10.5 full weight with a ccsb I believe with the 72/83. Mark went 10.96 on a single 72 with a light 2wd, it can be done with the 72/80 but in the end it's your truck and if the money's right.

thanks for the replys i might go with the 80 even if i got low 11s id be happy for awhile lol, this might be a dumb question but can the 80 be reworked to an 83 down the road?

Yes it can be.

That said, you don't need to run a bigger turbo, just use nitrous if you can't hit your goal with the 80

When my 4wd conversion is done and I go to the track I will let you know how my truck does, since I run this setup.

When you start your serious quest for 10's a charger swap will be small potatoes. Id get the 480 now if you can get a deal and worry about something bigger when you try to reach your goal.

How does this setup run?

I like my setup. I have towed with it,it does well. Have not hit the track but I will soon enough. I can let you know then. I know tune 3 is pretty nasty on my truck. I don't run tune 5,that one gets a little dicey on the street.

I love my setup. Wasn't too fond of the 72vgt as a single but am in love now that I compounded it. Getting ready to send to Mark for his stg2r upgrade

Please do. What do you think it makes on power?
As far as power,I don't know since it has never been dynoed. My injectors are somewhere around 40 over,maybe bigger would net more power I'm sure. I do know on the street,tune 3 on a 4wd launch clears the smoke fast,and hits 60# total boost. That's with the lockbox on.

72/83 might be the best thing since sliced bread. I couldnt be happier and can't wait to drive it with the new updated veins.
