Finally started the twin turbo project! I'm really happy to finally get to work with some of the parts I've been collecting for a while now. I'm getting all the fab work done now, then it's time to disassemble everything and take the Cartek stage 2x heads and cam out and replace with stock 317s with Gold springs and a custom cam from Geoff at EPS. The turbo's are Precision 6265s. LS6 intake is coming off and Edelbrock Proflo going on. I haven't gotten very far on it, but here are some pix of what's going on. If you guys have any suggestions please feel free to let me know. I'm still in the fabrication stage of this so nothing is permanent.
Piles of parts.

hmm, you got me thinking now! Do you think the .68ar turbine housings are too small? Will it be choked in higher rpm range with them? I figured with 2 of them they'd be good for a street car, but I'm no expert.

Get in touch with Forced Inductions and check the compressor map if you have it. But if they dont choke, your going have one hell of a ride. But the T4 housing should flow...don't quote me, I'm still learing/researching my self.
With a 346ci, you'd be fine with your .68a/r, especially for a street car you have in mind with a quicker spool. It might be a totally different story if your building a car with a 400+ c.i. that would see more of 1/4mi drag racing than street driving.
