Take one truck, journal bearing 66 with whichever housing and up-pipe configuration is "best", go to the track and leave off idle. Take the same truck, put on DBB 66, or 72 since it spools faster than JB 66 anyways, back to same track and leave off idle. Compare slips side by side. That should show how each spools. A video showing rpm and boost at the same time would be nice too. Now who will do it?

the 72 lights better, and drives better, than a journal bearing 66. It literally whistles its booty off soon as youre in the throttle, sounds vgt almost. more like a BB 38r in a 7.3. that alone speaks volumes for ball bearing to me, even with the smaller turbine. I like it better for 6.0s around town and i know mark will like it better than that laggy 66 hes had.

Youre comparing sound vs actual boost pressure? The exhaust starts whistling and youre saying thats spoolup? Thats just the drive pressure spinning the turbine. My compressor (my turbine doesnt whistle) starts to whistle at 1500, makes boost at 1700 (3-5lbs)... Big difference.

The 38r spools no faster than a jb66 on a 7.3, driven a bunch of trucks with these combos, especially lately.

Mark needs to re-gear to help his performance. If I recall he has a suncoast trans? So that means it has their converter most likely, and their "stock stall" is actually a lower stall, so thats killing his responsiveness and spool up time of the charger, the restrictive exhaust housing/flange adapter isnt helping at all. Correct me if im wrong.

Good deal. Cant wait to get some additional clamps. Apparently 55 psi the boots don't like.... It's got 12's in her no doubt.

Switched over to a cfm intake elbow for the nitrous jet and the clamp seems a hair too big, tightens all the way down but doesn't hold the boot on under heavy boost, ordered a longer boot so I can do double t bolt clamps on either side, initially it was the 45 boot off the turbo, It put a 2" gash in a 50 psi working psi 200 psi burst boot, if that says anything
