Default gto and boost

Ive been reading these forums for a while now, and now that my gxp is getting sold im planning on picking up a gto. But my question is what model is better for a twin turbo setup? and why? im leaning towards a 6.0L and 6spd manual so far.

Any input is appreciated.

if your going to twin turbo the year is irrelevant, 04 is a 5.7 and 05-06 is 6.0, but at that power level it shouldnt matter much which engine you have...... mileage on the car is most important.......
over a certain amount of boost you will have to rebuild the motor anyway.....
APS no longer makes their twin turbo kit i belive the only people making a kit still is the GENTT kit from ls1turbo.com which is in australia, but there is always making your own custom kit......

i would head over to ls1gto.com if you want some insight on recent builds
