Default Going for a twin T off road car, engine Q's

I'm on page 53 so far on this forum reading all I can and loving it. I recently got an 04 ls6 long block less a few parts and want to get some advice. I will make this a twin turbo using either t3/t4 or tdo4 turbos. For my application I'd rather have faster spool and less top end hp. aiming for 600ish hp. Nothing is set in stone so advice please.

Plan on, stock crank and cam. 9.0:1 comp, less than 12 psi boost. Car will weigh about 1800lbs. forged xxx brand (recommend?) rods and pistons. Dbl springs, New push-rods. Stock lifters and rockers. That ok? Motor has no intake, TB, coils, I figured stock coils but what intake and tb. VIC? Carl jr.
60 # injectors and new fuel rails. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Sponsors can hook you up w/ the pistons and rods. I use TSP alot. I'll be running the stock lifters and rockers on my setup, low milage. 60lbers should do you for that HP range. About any intake should do it. MightyMouse is hitting over 1K HP w/ an ls6 and ported tb, KP is runng like a 9.01 w/ an ls6 so it really just depends on how much you want to spend.

Sounds like fun, I'm guessing you'd want to stay at or below twin 60/61 mm turbos. I'm running a stock crank.

in the US im not sure. over here in the UK its very easy as all the Ford Coaworth guys like to throw their turbos away for bigger stuff.
