I think you will be the first guy to try twin gt45s on a 5.3. Is this why you made the spool valves? What heads and what cam? Keep up the good work.

What size GT45s did you pickup? Mines are the small ones (67/64s). I'm going to be trying them on my stock LS1 for now.

In for results. I have often wondered what a little larger turbine would do on a 5.3! This is exciting!
