Default Got my twin 61mm Turbos in!

Been piecing together my build. Got my twin 61mm turbos in today. 317 heads come in early next week, along with the ARP head studs and LS9 head gaskets. Following week will be the Wisco forged pistons and forged rods. Then the LS6 intake. All for an iron block 5.3 looking for roughly 850rwhp safe-ish haha. The 61mm are bigger than I thought so no way they will fit in the bay which is a bummer bc I wanted to see them so they will be going behind the bumper which has plenty of room.

CX Racing. I don't know if id actually call them a china knock off since they have a factory in CA. But I am VERY impressed with the quality and the finish. No shaft play at all, very tight but spins soooo smoothly and easily.

A twin t4 with .96ar turbine housing might just be too laggy, especially with a manual tranny.

its all in the cam events and the tune. the .68 AR housing on mine would peg my boost controller almost instantly from a roll. I could build 15lbs on transbrake in about 2 seconds.

I bet it wouldn't be as responsive like that if you are running a t56 like the OP appears to be planning on running judging by his sig. IMHO, your .68ar's are a bit too small with your stalled automatic.
