This is a result thread.. Quick run down
AES 390ci 9.5:1, Callies crank/rods, Diamond Pistons
Ported 317s
229/235 .609/.627 114+6lsa Martin Smallwood cam
E85
ID1300
Twin Walbro 450s -8feed/-6return
BBK SSI Intake
Stock TB
Custom twin turbo kit, Turbonetics TC66's .68 a/r, 3" DP, Twin RG45 WGs
RPM LVL 5 4L80e, Vigilante 3600 single disc
MWC 9", MWC suspension
Final numbers were 1047rwhp/917rwtq @ 24-26psi (boost controller is weird,) 23* timing
Heres when we first broke 4 digits. (dont mind the fall off, its the boost controller)
Short video
We still have work to do on it. Im going to pick up a boost leash and some CO2 at some point to get an actually full boost pull. I dont have enough manifol pressure to keep the gate closed i dont think... Ill post more videos of the car on the street soon also.
Thanks for the help from alot of you!

Very nice and job well done. There's something to be said for a guy that can say I built this. So the turbos are 68 a/r's then. That's kind of comforting for me to see that since I'm contemplating a switch to .68 a/r's on my 72's. So what kind if boost are you seeing on the low end. Full boost by what rpm? Mine are kinda lazy. Spooling really good by 4k. Good traction control but it isn't too fun driving on the street. By the time they're spooled things are moving quickly. Very nice build though. Props dude. Major props.

Glad to be a small part.
FWIW Josh tells me that the turbos are lit as soon as he rolls into the throttle. The smaller cam and the smaller AR housings really allow that to happen.
If the boost controller would hold boost to 7k Josh would of seen 1100rwhp unlocked through a 9" and full 3" exhaust.
Anyone wanting to replicate a more drag oriented version of this set-up could easily see another 100rwhp with 4" down pipes and larger AR housings.
Congrats Josh!
