LBZ: S472 choices

Any form of a BW S400 is going to seem plenty affordable. But upgrade the comp wheel to a type of billet design will jump the price a bit. And ante up for double bat or TCT and it will jump the price around $1000ish extra. Worth it? Depends on your goals. These different designs of billet wheels are designed to flow more air at the same shaft speeds. They are most of the time lighter as well, so spool is quicker.
I was curious as to why he didn't like bullsye but is happy with another BW?! I figured something was up...
I've heard a lot of talk about billet wheels spooling slower. Anybody have some first hand experience?
It made more than your twin turbo setup, just saying and a lot cheaper than a double bat and TCT....and per the website it's 2300$ not 2600$.

Haha no your fuel made more power then my turbos. Mine isn't out of air like yours was, but I'm not going to fight drive line the rest of my trucks life. I am not knocking that turbo. All I'm staying is it better make a lot of power because with $2600 in a turbo and another $1400 or so on an install kit is a lot of money.
On your 900+ runs what do your EGT get to?
I have enough fuel for this? I figured my 60s were a shade small. Seems that in this day and age 100 overs are the new 60 overs. I kind of wish I had bought 100s.
Also some food for thought on those helping me in my decision making process, which I greatly appreciate. I have a stock Lbz bottom end. I do have carrilo rods and a good block and I will be starting to build the bottom end this summer. But I do need to keep the rods inside until it's finished
. So with that being said, would everyone still recommend going 87/.90ar. Or maybe 87/1.0ar? I need to be able to tow on occasions.

Sorry, you are mistaken.
In hp per dollar this single whips a 7000.00 VNT twin setup all day long. And then when you are ready to step up to real compound turbos the 68 is waiting for it. All the above is applicable to the 72mm FPE billet.
I had one of your used 472s bought Brayden. From a guy that we both know fairly well. I thought after a phone conversation with me saying "consider it sold when would you like your cash" that would get the point across. Next day it was sold from underneath me. But whatever I guess.
I wasn't involved in that.. I'm assuming this is Brandon Pratt ?
Nobody has one of our used 71's . There are only a handful out there.

No you weren't involved. And to remove confusion the turbo I was going to buy was a 5-6 year old unit, not the new FPE 472. It was just a good price on it that's why I was after it. Make no mistake about it, I would buy the new FPE 472 tomorrow, but with with me building a new home, when I buy truck parts I am bargain shopping and buying used stuff. If this house didn't cost me about 2,500$ a week out of pocket, I'd be buying a FPE 472. Misners numbers are very impressive.
