I'll be dead honest, not exactly the smartest person or knowledgeable when it comes to swapping the turbos since I haven't looked into it at all or even what you could possibly fit in place of the stocker. But have you ever considered a Garrett? I know the GTX series is pretty wicked and anything with a 3000+ number should be able to handle 600+ with no problems. Check out the GT3076R! The GTX3582R is a 750 hp turbo, and I'm a sucker for Garrett. :P Hopefully I'm not just spamming. lol
Good luck with the swap!
P.S: Ever consider fabbing up a twin-turbo setup?

600whp is not a hard to reach goal with the correct combination and tune. Spoke with Ford the other day on this. Keep an eye out for this one in the future.

To save money can't u pick up a used 3076 and have it rebuilt with gtx wheels? Thought I heard of ppl doing this. I'm sure there will be a small loss in power/efficiency tho

If it takes E85 then so be it not a huge worry for me either way.
Cant watch the cam anymore so i can see whats going on with the red car anymore.
I know you have rich issues with it the other day. Oh well Time will tell.

i can't really give you a solid answer since i never really opened it up. but i have a video on the dyno and a 30mph 2nd gear pull to 80 when i was on the 262 and .70 a/r. its just too slow... thats why matt and i agreed on going to the 259 and a .55 housing when i was having the engine rebuilt. muuuuuuuch better powerband, and an overall faster car even though it makes a bit less peak.

Eww that spool on the s262 is not pleasing. Before the S256et i was actually looking at doing a custom manifold and a EFR7670 in the first place, i could just never get a hold of one. As silverbullet stated, there will be something in the works soon
Thanks for the info everyone. I will also be looking at some suspension/tire mods to actually put this power down.

Once I get the trans or right before it, I plan on selling the 256bb I have lol. I as well am needing to go slightly bigger for the goal I want to hit for the Texas mile in march! Silverbullet already knows this. Lol

Jesus you guys! My car on the s256et and pump gas is an absolute animal! On e85 it will be insane. I can't believe you guys want more!
I think the came phaser advancements would be key to having a larger turbo than a s256et or 5858.

Just a FYI your company itself said my goal would be within reach so just going by your companies statement. 2.1, 93 plus meth shitload of boost will net me nice numbers either way.

Was hoping we would push the turbo to 30+psi since it was at 26 before i dropped it off. If you want to shoot me a email you have it.
Will go E85 next season so hopefully i can get closer to the 500 then.

I will hold out for a complete build until we have solution to this problem. It would be sweet just imagine making HP revving past 7200? C-mon Matt M. make our LNFs rev past 8000 rpm..

yes. its called going from a 262 .70 a/r to a 259 .55 a/r lol
i tried to tell him... i would love to be proved wrong though. i think a bullseye/bw turbo with a BB housing and the wheel options bullseye has for their turbos would make one mean mambajamba
