Oh and I'll be hitting the track for the first time with the new motor this Sunday finally. Just put the rancho 9000's on fixing to test those!

My truck was very smokey with the 72VGT, I also have stock heads, I went to a S468 and it doesn't smoke hardly at all with the same pulse. The 72VGT is better for a 45-60 injector IMO because the turbine can't get rid of the heat. It really depends what you want to do with the truck and how you want it to drive and be efficient as well.
Did you have 100 overs with the 72vgt? You ever dyno it or run it at the track? So you running a 468 or a 472 right now?
Yes I had the 100 overs with the 72VGT, the truck dynoed 732/1331, it ran 12.09 @ 114 at the track. I switched to a FPE S468 Billet and made 918/1629 with the same amount of PULSE and TIMING and went 11.37@121. BIG DIFFERENCE THERE......I believe it drives just as good or better than the VGT. I'm currently running and testing a FPE S472 Billet, which made 973/1671.
Dang, so no changes at all to the tuning other than vane codes turned off and picked up almost 200hp just by switching to a 468? Might be trying something else then! I love the Danville 72 but if the s468 spools like the Danville might have a turbo for sale. Lol.
I did the same thing, but it didn't go any faster.... That uS with 60% exergys was getting quite warm....
And not too bad, but misner has stock heads and went like 12.1 to 11.3 with just a charger change from 72vgt to 468 and a egt drop like mine too. Just throwing it out there as that has been real world experience lately.
Mine worked well in the compound setup, but would of liked to had like a 66 down there, but it would of done much better!
EDIT: just seemed Misner chimed in with accurate times!
My 467 spools faster than my 72 did... Rode in another locals with a 72 and mine out spools his as well.
Personally, If someone is dead set on a VGT I say the 4094 and rock out at 600-625hp and then when they want more than that, step up to a s467-s472.... Just too much bang for the buck not to. I'm running FPE 467 and LOVE IT, but mark has come out with a s467 as well now that I heard worked well.
I'm telling you, 72vgt isn't the bees knees anymore and everyone who has switched to a fixed vane charger have all been far happier.
The only reason I've been against a fixed turbo is from riding in other vehicles with one. Maybe it was just bad tuning or just wasn't set up right idk I wasn't impressed. But after hearing feedback from you kory, mike, and misner y'all have convinced me it's time for something else. How well would a double batmo s475/87/1.0 perform as a single?
Very well put and accurate!! VGTs have there place but a fixed vane with proper tuning can preform as well and even better with less!

I will be testing a FPE 475 billet here shortly. It should make 1050-1100 with my current setup and no changes to tuning. I would put my current charger up against a double bat S475. My truck is a straight monster on the street!!!

It's just a billet wheel 475 that they designed! All the secrets will never be known but the 468 and 471/72 have proven to make huge power! Obviously I'm plugging there chargers but the batmos are good chargers as well. To be polite if you have any other questions PM me so we don't muddy up the thread! Thanks Matt

ET's show traction, mph show power. I trapped 125 at 7200lbs. Don't get me wrong, those s468 are bad ass. I'd love to see how you run with that new turbo.
6 in lifted trucks arent very aero just for the record.

Would i be safer if i did injectors too? to help lower pulsewidth. I know theres prolly better choices then a 72vgt but from what I've read it'll do everything i want it to do for now, and i love that it goes in the factory location. Good price on it was a + too 
but thanks for the info guys!
