Twins or a single for drag truck?

Looking for a little advice for my drag truck is a 13mm pumped 12v, I cant decide whether to run my twins or just throw the 480 on it, the truck will be a strictly drag truck, I may drive on street a little to get some miles on the motor

I have a twin setup for my drag truck thats consists of a silver 66 and a s480, I am contemplating just runnung the single 480 by itself.
Not sure If I need to change anything on the 480 for a single its a 80/96/1.32 I think, Ill probly need an external gate too?
If I run the twins I was goin to put an s483 on the bottom with th 66

Give me a little explanation on why you think one would work better than the other.
Any input is greatly appreciated!

Here are some specs
13mm pump flowed 450-850ccs depending where The plate is
Injectors...Lenny is building not positive yet probly comps
colt stage 5 cam with fly cut pistons
mild clean up on the head
Was going to start at 26* for timing and go from there
I have the nitrous if i need it to help spool.

Discuss!
:tree::thankyou2:

I started with a big single and nitrous theory now I am going to big twins with a 472 on top of a 95+mm...It is just easier for me and parts last longer.

I'd look at the smaller turbine myself. I've run an S480 on my 24v with a 13mm, stage 3 colt cam, 7x12's, etc. S480 had the 87/80 turbine with a 1.25 A/R housing. It wouldn't make any real appreciable boost below 3k rpm. A tighter T4 housing would help, I'm sure.

It all relates to your wastegate setup and converter selection. I would have a super loose converter with a single, and spray right out of the hole. Who cares if you are loosing 30%, that could still be 700+ at the wheels, which is more HP than you usually could get down in the first few hundred feet with normal "diesel event" track prep. Then I would lock the converter at the top of second gear where the slip rate is low, and torque multiplication isn't that bad. That's hoe normal gas racers do it...make a bunch of power, then try to apply it gradually.

Twins will be smoother and easier to feather down the track a big single will come on hard and if you have traction it will work if not you will go up in smoke. That 480 would be terrible as a single go with the 66/83 set up IMO.

Ok well I am pretty setup for the twins as far as converter, wastegate etc, thanks for the input guys! I'll probly throw the twins on it and maybe try a single later or probly go bigger twins!!

Well the truck won't be done for this weekend so I have more time to decide, I'm still up in the air on turbo setup, it sounds like if i run the 480 I'll defiantly put a smaller housing/wheel on it... And like you guys said an external gate for sure, probly have to have the converter loosened up also.

Still looking for input!

Just run the twins! Ya already have them so why not try them
