Good luck. It'd never light, maybe with tons of NOS. It's lag so bad, then when you shift it won't want to come back on.
Find a 64/12. That'll move some air for you.

Scheids had a s-400 hybrid that was more of a s-300, freind of mine had one it worked pretty well. A full size s-400 is too big for dailey driving, I got one on my truck right now. 1800 rpm before anything in the way of boost with a LOT of fuel, runs about 900 degrees down a flat road at 45mph and hotter as you get faster. forget about towing anything but a log splitter

we think my buddie has one (numbers filed off) does take a while to light but when it does WOOSH. Peghe boost guage almost instantly and runs like a raped ape. He's Cowboystoys on here. Truck was built for pulling but he drives it every day and pulls a bit and doesnt run that hot. but it does smoke like a freigt train!

I run one, but its not an out of the box combination. it has a 2.7 compressor and it has an s300 exhaust housing machined out to fit. it is on my daily driver, but i also have a camshaft. it produced 621 hp at 3000rpm. it is laggy but with proper afc tuning it does not excessively smoke at low boost. cruise temps run from 650 to 900 depending on the outside air temp.

Is that the titanium compressor?
I'm thinking I might try a small s400 next, but I'm going to need some contact info it could be pm'd.
Stupid phat shaft is seeping oil Maybe thats why I can't make but 35 lbs now

Another S300 bites the dust....Leaking oil=worn thrust bearing, rebuild it before its too late.
