Default L33....One or two turbos?

I just finished building an 04 LS1 for my truck, forged rods and pistons, stock crank, 243 heads, comp cam, 1.85 rockers,blah blah blah. Now heres the problem, I came across an awesome L33 from my local scrap yard. Complete with all electronics and accessories. I got it for $1100 and it only has 16,000 miles on it, I want to turbo this thing BAD! I was wondering what would be the best route to go, my vehicle is an 85 C10 truck. It has a boxed chasis, ford 9, and tko600 so I think it can handle a lot of power. What are the advantages of twin vs. single turbo? What do you guys think turbo L33 (also single or twin) or stick with my original n/a motor?

i would get some 317 heads for the ls1 you have to lower the compression and get a nice single 76 on there and you should be good .

We just did one with a single 68 and it made 681 through a 4l80e and 35" tires.
