I had zzp installed and tuned my 6758 on my ss auto. Even with that turbo I am only tuned to 23psi. With running more boosts I will be risking destroying my tyranny. At least that what zzp tuner told me.

After just a quick search it appears there is some fabrication involved and then tuning, and that many mm larger, might cause a lot more spool up time
I would consider the K04 if your SS is a DD.

Unfortunately we don't have a lot of options with auto transmission. Reducing shift time with tune and installing extra trans cooler, that about all I can think of. How much are you making with that turbo on 25 psi?!! Shold be around 380-400 whp
