There are 4 common turbine wheels for the S400, I am not a fan of the largest.

Thanks for the help yet again! What advantages would I see by replacing my 480 with the GT80? Would the GT80 still work with my 64? But the price for the GT80 isn't to bad at all.

What do used S480s usually go for? Mines got a little under 3k miles.

The GT80 uses a TV turbine, will spool faster, and produce higher peak hp, they are a hybrid of sorts, it will work well with your secondary. Look around to see what you can get out of yours.

When the engine comes out, Im going to really look into doing the GT80 now. This build is getting pretty simple now, considering I've knocked quiet a bit off my initial list.

One thing that I'm hashing over is the injectors now. Just for streetability reasons, I'm really considering just sticking with the 145° injectors so I can run a lower timing

Welp, I'm finally getting started on this. A few things came up over the winter but everything is back on track. So "built" bottom end is now officially in progress. Got my new main studs, rod bolts, ATI damnper, and rods ordered, now just playing the waiting game. Now to finally settle on a cam and get that in so I can get this wrapped up.
