I'd stick with the twins. Are you sticking with the lt1 or going to go with an LS in the future?

i got way to much in this engine to go to ls. im making new hotpipes because im putting in a manual rack and i figured i see what people said about selling it and going bigger because 4800 is enough to think twice

some guy asked if i would build him the same kit for his lt1 and i thought of selling the whole kit and go with one big turbo or just sell the hot pipes. but i told him 4800 for the whole kit and he wanted it. so i told him i let him know in a couple days.

another thing is i can sell the whole kit and start with brand new part for the same price. im pretty sure i dont have that in the kit..

when it was first was tuned on the dyno it only put down 520 with 3 psi at 5500 rpm.it blew out the header gasket. who knew i needed locking header bolts. but after i got locking header bolts then it was street tuned to 12 psi at 7200 rpm but these hotpipes wont work with the manual rack im putting in. then i thought i could start out from scratch with all new parts

You can build a 3 joint steering shaft to clear the headers, anything can be made to fit. If you want to do something diff then do it. Id want to see how much power you could make with the twins and i bet that would want to make you keep it

Unless you just want something different, otherwise 12 psi on 383 is hardly working the 72s if the rest of your parts are up to it you could probably still double your power with those turbos

Nope. Selling it to rebuild it fresh would be very tempting though. I'm sure there are things you would do different.
