I just bought my first LS motor the other day for a build that I hope will turn my GN into a beast. $500 for a LQ4 w/ harness, truck manifolds and ECM. Had 170,000 on the motor but I took the valve covers off and not one bit of sludge, crud or anything. Really really clean. Owner was old man who babied the truck.

My question is:

Is it better to run (2) TE60 turbos or one big PT88??? This will be a street car once in a while (taking it out maybe 20 times per summer) and a strip car maybe 5-10 times per year.

Here is the rest of the build:

LQ4 LS .030 over
Forged Rods w/ ARP 2000
Forged Wiseco pistons
Stock crank
317 ported heads
60lbs. injectors
Methanol Dual injection
T400 w/ 3500 stall
Ford 9" detroit locker w/ 3.50 gears

I would like to aim for around 800hp at the rear wheels. Don't know if the twin TE60's will get me there.

thanks

I'm running twin 6165's making 945 rwhp. Not sure what the TE 60 is hope this helps. Compressor map would be the answer although sometimes hard to get.

It a 6031 3 bolt turbo that I had on my V6. I was going to buy a 2nd one and save some money.

thanks for responding

But in general are twin turbos easier on motor than a single??

It looks like I'm going twin turbo.

It's gonna be fun creating the piping for this project.
