Default small cubes and twins

hi guys, i have been looking around and i haven't seen much people use the small CI and twin turbo route and it got me thinking. i am looking at a roller at the moment and i want to go FI with it but i also want something a little different too. So i want to hear your thoughts on this setup, i am planing to use 5.3 block with the full erl treatment and a forged stock stroke crank, all pro heads, turbo spec cam, a fast intake (maybe). now for the turbos i was thinking 2 of those sweet new BW S400 series with the billet wheels from the good doctor should do the trick.

The 4.125" bore opens up your head choices to allow it to breathe and keep the stroke short for smaller cubes.

I have heard of some guys using the 4.8 crank in a 6.0 block and twisting them 9k n/a. I think this is the setup I am going to look at for my forged motor when the stocker goes boom.

Problem with that combo is you cant find pistons for that stroke.
