Default Twin Ta Build

My buddy Bought this car blown up in may with a sts rear mount. So far Ive done all the drivetrain work and he did paint.

Added
6.0 Block
LS6 Cam
Patriot Duals
Ratronix Hotwire and Pump
Devils Own Meth Kit
Ran anywhere from 4-14 psi so far.

Now its time to switch over to twins.

Starting to get a big parts list going on here.

Goal 700-800hp on pump gas with ac and reliably. M6 Car

Engine:
6.0 Iron Block
Compstar Rods
Wiseco Pistons ( 8.5 Comp to keep it safe on pump gas?)
Stock Crank
Stock 317 Heads
Patriot Dual Springs
02 Z06 Cam(Will another cam make enough difference to spend the money?)

Turbo Setup
I want to look at some stock manifolds and see if we can do something like JIM(parish) did on his g8
Something like this but tucked up higher?
http://neufamily.org/images/g8galler...s/g8%20059.jpg
Id like to see some other setups i liked the aps setup.

Trans
Sending the t56 out to tick performance for a rebuild
New hydralics
Spec 3+
Aluminum Flywheel.

Im looking for some real life insight. Right Now the car has a fast intake with a nick williams throttle body. Is this worth keeping or use a ls6 intake with the stock tb? Also need to decide on a k member.


Im looking for opinions and a sponser to order from.

You might have to mill the heads a bit for a bump in compression or a thinner head gasket.
