Kentucky Turbo is doing TT my build Well with aps going to ****. I called kentucky and they are building me a Twin Turbo set up.all stainless steel with custom stainless headers.josh is going to use twin turbonetics 70mm with a .86 a/r housing and other stuff to spool fast.it is going on a 441ci LSX street car with a 6spd.I am using a big nasty custom LMR grind cam.he was so helpful and went out of his way to help out.the quality looks good. Who all has there kit and what power do u make?I have heard good stuff about them.how much power is the set up capable of? What fuel system would support it and what clutch would hold it.it should spool nasty. I am sure he might chime in.

post pics please, I am going to hold off on my next big mod 
I really had faith in APS but 2800 plus Tax for Replacement turbos does not look pretty.

how much is that costing?
2 walbros should do the trick along with some big injectors and a boost referanced pressure regulator. not sure if the stock feed line will do it.
i hear monster clutches are supposed to be really good. i am thinking about getting the 4.5. it supposed to hold 775hp and have no chatter.

You will definately need more than a stock fuel line for that....I have a twin setup from Kentucky Turbo...I will let you know how it runs when I finish it!

Well with aps going to ****. I called kentucky and they are building me a Twin Turbo set up.all stainless steel with custom stainless headers.josh is going to use twin turbonetics 67mm with a smaller housing and other stuff to spool fast.it is going on a 441ci LSX street car with a 6spd.I am using a big nasty custom LMR grind cam.he was so helpful and went out of his way to help out.the quality looks good. Who all has there kit and what power do u make?I have heard good stuff about them.how much power is the set up capable of?

What heads and intake you planning? 6 bolt heads I hope.

Nice. 441 seems like alot of cubes for those turbos. My friend has a similar setup with the small housings and it's instantly spooled as soon as he hits the gas and he has a standard iron 408 (4.00X4.035). Josh is currently building a twin TC78 setup for another friend of mine. That'll prob be a 427. Can't wait to tune on that.

Good luck having any six speed t56 survive at that hp level and torque level. Doubt anything but a triple disc clutch would have any chance to survive certainly no single.
No twin pump intank setup can support those power levels. and you would need huge lines and don't forget huge injectors like 160 pounders low impedence with all the related stuff likely standalone to tune it. And massive external pump or maybe triple intank setup.
What rear end are you going to be running? You will need to run a spool at those power levels posis won't live for long And t 67 sound do sound small.
And really hope turbonetics are better than a few years ago. Buddy went thru lots of them.
I would go garett for turbos they are pretty much the best out there.
gt35s or bigger. Ball bearing of course.
And don't forget your cooling system. Its going to have to be very serious as well.
And you better put in only the best engine parts at that power level.
So want to see how quick you can tear thru 30,000 plus with engine turbos, etc.
Plan a lot of money in reserve for all the little things that will come up.
Oh and just so you know. Much past 750 engine is not really that useable on the street and even on the track. I can run much more also but normally there is little point.
My current setup laughs at nittos,they are pretty much useless until into third even at 750 engine estimated. So you are pretty much forced to run drag tires 24/7. These suck in rain ,don't last long at all and dont ride or handle very good except for 1/4 mile driving.
I think 1000rwhp or even 800 rwhp builds make more sense but hey being a speed freak I can see the point of wanting 1500, 2000rwhp although after now having a pretty big power car realize it was pretty much just dick swinging.
Actually you can hook up fair amount of power by using various means to ramp in the boost and looking into a variable traction control setup for my car at some point. You can get better traction controls if you go standalone which likely you will anyway with your goals. So put aside another 4k or so for big stuff 3 by time you buy all the little extra goodies for it.

Should be a killer setup that makes huge power. I agree with others though about the setup. Turbos seem small for those cubes. I hope you've thought out the rest of the build too. Depending on what you have now that whole car is going need to be overhauled.
