Regardless you can't go wrong with a FP 71hta

From what I have read/seen, you can get close to, or exceed 400 whp on just an 71hta and pump, which is a bargin.

E would get you closer to 450.

FP SS Green? Do you have dyno chart so we can see how well it spools?

You guys are lucky to have 93 octane. 26 psi and hitting 400whp is nice. That SS housing really slows spool quite a bit from the MHI. It looks like 4600 rpm before you see 300ft-lbs of torque.

Yes, but Green MHI should be seeing 300 ft-lb around 4200 rpm. This is my 71hta for reference. This SS Green looks laggier than MHI Red even.

It's hard to compare different turbos and setups. Plus he said "external wastegate", so I assume it's a SS housing which = about as laggy as MHI Red. Plus, we don't know certain details of the rest of his build. Sounds about right to me.
