an LSX barely fits under the hood of a 4th gen, so you cram a big block?
nicely done.

Are twin 76's enough? Seems like twin 88's should be under the hood. Obviously a badass ride though.

No, they're small turbos for this motor but the car is also jetted for nitrous. It's just a toy...

A 94 or a 98mm turbo is too small for that big block. It really needs
twin 88's or twin 91's. Nowadays, a single 91, 94, or 98 is not a big turbo
for a racecar application.
