Default 550WHP twin turbo LQ4 setup questions?

So far the plan is LQ4 TT.

Just a few questions

What are the weak spots in the head and block that need to be corrected for this power level?

It will be a twin setup so what size turbos best match up with my goal?

What size water/air intercooler core will be needed?

Will a cam be needed ad if so are there stock cams to upgrade to?

Headgasket suggestions?

Any other info that you would like to toss in feel free.

Thanks,
James

Z06 cam, ARP rod bolts, and ARP head studs. You can take that up to 600+ on a safe tune.

2x 61mm - which ones depends on your budget. Big enough for room to grow but not too big.
Valve springs PAC 1218 or 1221. Better longer lasting version of the Compcams springs.
Look for a used 216/220 low to mid .500 lift. cam it will add off boost power and is small still.
MLS head gasket or stock.
water injection is all you'd need for this level.
Head bolts only if you want more HP & boost. Your only looking at 10psi or less for your goal.
Might as well get rod bolts.
