is a pt88 2big for a 383lt1?

Is the pte88 too big for a 383 lt1...im going with a forged crank...billet rods...ross turbo pistons...does anyone have anymore info on a setup like this? when would it come into max boost..(.96 a/r) any pics of it?..is it a t4 or t6 flange..i plan on buying the turbo from forcedinductions.com tomorrow...it came out to 1510 out the door..which is excellent. any info would be very helpful :confused:

Jose is the man to talk to. If he told you a PT88 is what you need, then I'd trust him.

If it helps at all when I talked to Turbonetics they told me that their T-76 is on the small side for my LT1, do-able, but not ideal. We'll see what the dyno says.

I doubt a PT-88 would pose much of a problem. INTMD8 on this board was running a single 80 on a 355 LT1 and didn't have much lag, even though he was running a large A/R ratio (1.1?). Not to mention he was pushing over 750rwhp with that setup under 20psi. A 88 with a .96 on a 383 would probably spool pretty fast and give you a good wide powerband with a strong top end. Like has been said though, i'd talk to Jose. IIRC, he's running a 88 on a 383.

Not a prob man. I am using one on a 355 LT1 with .96 A/R and 4" down pipe.

The 88 is just fine on a 383. If a 76 is what you wanted, the only model I would choose would be the 76GTS. The S-trim wheel is the only wheel that doesn't cause a huge amount of backpressure on these larger motors at higher boost levels. The 88 is an excellent choice though....
