Is it possible to run a fully built 454lsx on 20psi and 10.5:1comp, and for it 2 live??? looking at running a rear mount twin turbo kit, and run it on e85 on the street.

20 lbs of boost for a street car? That's going to be an interesting, if expensive ride. Better be getting a good degree in college to afford a beast like this.
If you are looking to make 1500+ hp, are you sure there are not other options to consider that might cost less and be more reliable? Might be less expensive to build a large BBC and use less boost to achieve same power and have a combo that will last longer.

or start with 5psi...cause you'll still shit yourself when boost hits...lol...then go from there...

build it for 20 psi but i bet you will only use it up to 15 psi maybe 12 psi on the street
I have a 427 boosted on the street with drag radials anything passed 15 psi is a waste on the street and 15 psi is a wild wild ride

How about you put the fully built 454 LSx in the car first, then tell us its too slow for the street and needs twin turbos :)

I planned on only running 10-15psi on the street and 20psi on the track, but it needs to be able to handle that 20psi when i want it. I just wanna push the envelope, i dont want to build it to 700hp and then decide i want more and do it all again, i wanna do this once and do it big. I plan on running methanol or alcohol injection just to be safe.
