No twin pump intank setup can support those power levels. and you would need huge lines and don't forget huge injectors like 160 pounders low impedence with all the related stuff likely standalone to tune it. And massive external pump or maybe triple intank setup.
What rear end are you going to be running? You will need to run a spool at those power levels posis won't live for long And t 67 sound do sound small.
And really hope turbonetics are better than a few years ago. Buddy went thru lots of them.
I would go garett for turbos they are pretty much the best out there.
gt35s or bigger. Ball bearing of course.
And don't forget your cooling system. Its going to have to be very serious as well.
And you better put in only the best engine parts at that power level.
So want to see how quick you can tear thru 30,000 plus with engine turbos, etc.
Plan a lot of money in reserve for all the little things that will come up.

Oh and just so you know. Much past 750 engine is not really that useable on the street and even on the track. I can run much more also but normally there is little point.
My current setup laughs at nittos,they are pretty much useless until into third even at 750 engine estimated. So you are pretty much forced to run drag tires 24/7. These suck in rain ,don't last long at all and dont ride or handle very good except for 1/4 mile driving.
I think 1000rwhp or even 800 rwhp builds make more sense but hey being a speed freak I can see the point of wanting 1500, 2000rwhp although after now having a pretty big power car realize it was pretty much just dick swinging.

Actually you can hook up fair amount of power by using various means to ramp in the boost and looking into a variable traction control setup for my car at some point. You can get better traction controls if you go standalone which likely you will anyway with your goals. So put aside another 4k or so for big stuff 3 by time you buy all the little extra goodies for it.
it takes a real man to admit this

You will love the 6 speed with that much power. I know I did. I had a 6 speed making 920rwhp and loved it. And it hooked very well on the street!

I chose those turbos so I can have instant spool.power under the curve.peaking hp at around 3600-4000RPM.I was going to use the APS extreme kit and I know those turbo were small.compared to a gt35 I think.maybe compared to a 60mm.

I will have some pics when I get it put in the car...The one is where the battery should be and the other is over by the fuse boxes...It's a manifold setup though with twin 76's. Everything looks perfect!!!! Hoping for at least some low 9 second passes with this setup on a 402....

A lot of us run turbonetics turbos here on 'tech with good results. Anyone you see that has a "TC" 76 or 78 mm turbo listed in their sigs has a turbonetics turbo. Nice units with a great warranty.

turbonetics has a true no questions asked warranty for a full year. ive had to use it before and the turbo was replaced without a hitch. the borg-warner stuff is pretty nice as well, im either going with a tc-78 or a s400-78.
search some stuff on precision on yellowbullet i believe, i think some people had issues with them for warranty stuff but i may be thinking of another company..

those turbos will spool very very hard, I think you will have traction problems.
