too small. it would be awesome to about 4000 rpm though..lol you need to plot your air requirements out on a compressor map, I think you would be way far out on the islands with a set of those baby turbos.. you LS1 guys move big air.

Then those would be MUCH too small for a 346.

I have two GN turbos as well and when I looked at the maps, it was my understanding that they would be a little big when using two. What is nice about these though is that the wastegate is self contained which would make the plumbing a little simpler. I was looking at doing a rear mount setup with them but I am afraid there would be too much lag using the two and too much restriction only using the one
