Default Newbie from sw fl

Hello all, I recently was able to accomplish one of my long time goals. My goal to one day own an ls1. I have had nothing but imports my entire driving life mainly Europeans, but have always respected and loved my domestic vehicles. The ls being my motor of choice and bmw my car of choice, i choose to combine the two to create my ultimate driving machince. I picked up an 06 silverado 5.3 and a th400 with mods and decided to swap it into my e36 318 bmw. I am no stranger to turbocharging or performance, but i am very new to this world and would love all and any input anyone may have to give. My power goal is 800-900whp using a pair of 6262 turbos, and would love the help in figuring what i will need to do in order to accomplish this reliably. Thanks.
PICS:
