Default Single or twin turbo 4.8?

Ok so I have all I need to single turbo the 4.8 in my 89 camaro. I have a mp t76 turbo, 44mm tial wg and hks bov and intercooler. Then I run into a couple hx35 turbos for free (came with cummins we bought) that need rebuilt. So I was looking at the position of the manifolds and a turbo right in front of each fender looks like a perfect spot for the hot side pipe to go right into each turbo in less than a foot.

Question is: would the mpt76 AND a hx35 be overkill? And would that be an ok combination. I guess I'm just trying to get faster spool up without blowing up the engine from too much boost. Or should i stick with just the 76?

Let me know what you guys think

I think the single 76 is the way to go...plus you already have most of the things needed for a single setup.

i would do the single 76. that thing will make a lot of power and spool up will be awesome.
