I dont mean to be a wet blanket, but am i the only one who was taken aback by a twin* turbo setup only getting him to 470hp? I would have expected more out of that.

Thats 470 at the wheels, as opposed to the stock 390 at the crank. Pretty decent power considering it is going through a truck trans and rear axle with truck sized wheels and tires.

i am currently looking into a sts turbo system that could be twin or single turbo and it looks like their setup would be close to what you did. nice job. When looking at their data on HP/TQ gains on a 08 f150 with a single turbo i would hope you get HUGE gains with a twin setup.

POST SOME VIDEOS!!!!!!!!! be rad to watch you rig in action

Its great to see someone doing something as drastic as this to their vehicle. I too am impressed by your numbers. Are you running a custom tune and how is the tranny handling the pressure? Any MPG gains? I would expect a few if your not burning rubber every chance you get

Yes, I have a CMR tune and a 2 bar MAP sensor, so the computer can adjust for boost. So far trans is fine and if I stay out of the gas I am getting better MPG.
