408 is the best. Good luck, I don`t know much about turbos. But I do know the iron 408 will handle it.

Look up NastyTA...Kyle is his name. 6 litre, stock crank (if you can believe it), over 800 HP. And its VERY mild. He even drove it to my shop IN THE RAIN (crazy bastard!!)

Twins turbos are such a primo setup, fbody with twin system has acceleration like a crotch rocket.

compstar rods, compstar crankshafts are soon available, set of diamond 11521 pistons will see you though 1000rwhp.

like it when people ask "what kind of CAI that car has?"

drop me an email if I can do anything for ya?

408ci -FI Very easy 700-800rwhp on pump gas.There are a few cars on here running them.We just made 700rwhp through a 4L80 tranny in a HD2500.

Do a search for NastyTA and PurEvl .We built PurEvl's car in 05 and he's still driving it around.Pulled 860hp/840tq on pump gas(no meth). Very tame,you could drive it everyday and even pass tailpipe emmissions.

BTW-Speed inc does some awesome work too,those twins look bad ***.

SPEED- thats probably one of the cleanest looking tt setups ive seen so thus far on an fbody!!! haha you could really mess with some ricers with that "cai" look..i love it! just curious how much did dinero did you end up tying up in that when it was completely done? just kind of as an estimate for me
