Borg-warner (schwitzer) s372

specs are as listed:

Specs:

Compressor Wheel Inducer - 71.8mm

Compressor Wheel Exducer - 101.9mm

Turbine Wheel - 83mm

Yes, it lags like hecks. But once she lights I"m gone. It's Supposed to be able to support like 700-1000hp

It can run up to 80lbs of boost without a problem but i can only run 45 as i run out of fuel! It will hit 52 with some water meth.


Here is an ebay aution for one if anyone is looking for one. I'm not affiliated with the auction. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Borg-...spagenameZWD1V

Dean, you'd make more power with a smaller s300 properly sized for a low rpm VE motor, like a 64/71. What you have would be better suited for a p-pumped pulling truck. Like I try to tell my ole lady, bigger ain't always better.

Transplant a p-pump converted motor into it. A bit of pump work, head work, a set of twins and you'll have your power and then some.

hahaha, only reason i went that big is because my truck is a project truck. i plan on soon in the future trying to get it to nearly 650 horsepower. but its rated to work from 200hp-1000hp. so it works well. only about 2-3 seconds of lag.

My truck on #2 only hits about 1450* and by then im at 110+mph. With the nitrous it may cool it off alittle but its hard to see on the guage. Ive been driving it every day for the last two years like this. Heck i even keep the bottle behind the seat, it always ready to rock.
