With proper fueling there should be close to 20mph more available air.... I honestly think this turbo setup is good for 11.50 1/4 mile passes with proper tuning...

I sure the hell hope so. I went 11.50s all day on a single 64mm on fuel. There should be a ton left on the table. Tune tune tune!
The 351cw is utilizing the stock wastegate with the electric gate controller disabled so it's essentially a regular boost operated wastegate that cracks at 26 psi. I then installed a wastegate ball and spring controller in-line similar to a boost elbow setup that allows me to fine tune when the gate opens. It cracks open at about 30 psi right now and the gate is wide open from 40 psi total boost on up. With the gate wide open, total boost is now peaking at 80 psi with roughly 45 psi inter-stage coming from the S480.
That race video made the car look silly slow.
Is this the engine you modified the piston bowls on? ...... Or is my memory jumbled and it was someone else that did that?
Will your turbine housing is ported as largeas you could take it on the 351 right?
Cody Mertes suggested I check out your work here, and I'm actually very happy to see this setup being used. I had planned on a compound build using a 351cw and a gt4202 with a gated 1.15 a/r housing. Looking at what you're experiencing for egt I think I may want to run 5x16 and dv's instead of 14. Happy to see the 351cw flows well. Keep it up!
Maxed 180 pump, comp cuts, 5x.016, 18* or so.Excellent Mike. Good to hear. What are you running for fuel and timing?
How well do you think this turbo setup would work with a manual Trans? NV4500
