turbo to choose? - Page 2

B-Weir · 01-06-2013, 08:12 AM

An s480 is going to be really laggy. My gt42 will tow a little but I wouldn't want to be hauling every week with it.

Call Mark at Danville Performance and get him to set you up with a charger...

Thanks I will look him up and call him Monday. I hear the 480 batmo isn't that laggy. I found some people running the 475batmo with the 6.6 and 40over injectors and said it was highly streetable with the right tuning.

Im not sure if Newly has sold his twin kit yet but that kit would get you to 1000hp with some fabing of the kit

Sled Pulling vs. Towing = apples and oranges. IMO if you want something that is streetable, fun, and tows well... get yourself a twin setup. Different people have different opinions... some like singles, some like twins, etc.. I don't think you'll get one straight answer. And am I understanding right, you are converting your LML to an LMM? Wouldn't it be cheaper to just sell the LML and buy an LMM?

X2 would be a lot cheaper and smarter. If worried about cost of what the 4202 would cost I would stop now. Also here is a billet 4202 GTX4202R

was looking for a all around good turbo for now to twin later but for now would be giving me the most hp i can get yet still be able to tow...I could not find a LMM that I wanted with the options i wanted when I got mine. I talked to Mark at danville smart guy. We decided to go with a S475 87mm batmo. should work well for what I am after. I will keep you all up to date on how it works out. Thanks everyone you you help.

is the only reason your converting to LMM the EFI capabilities? seems like a mess of trouble

The block.is the.best one gm has made yet, the frame is the most solid the trany has the bigest oit put shaft of the past years, the dually bed sides are real metal. It one of the most solid trucks gm has put out imo minus the dpf,egr,dfp, and ecm crap...i wanted.a lmm but some times u have to make do woth what you.have..that amd i want 1,000+rwhp.. I dout you will be getting that with any tuner in the next couple years at best..they will make promises but add a year to 6months to that. I just.got.tierd of waiting. Once i do it and have the bugs worked out i most likely wont be the last.
