Default Opinions needed on 408 with K29 twins?

Hi, I'm thinking of using two K29 turbos for my 408 but I'm a little affraid if they are too restrictive on the exhaust side, what do you think?

http://www.full-race.com/articles/bo...550-850hp.html

My goal is to make 1200 - 1500 fwhp with E85.

The engine is just basic LQ4 with eagle stroker kit, patriot stg3 heads, pyramidrings, 240/242 115LSA hyd cam, etc.

You would be better suited with the S300-66's. They are awesome turbos and make massive power.

So you think with the compressor side of the K29 would be too much?

But do you think the turbine side of the K29 would be OK because the S300 turbine is quite similar?

I'm thinking these K29s only because I allready got one in a lot of other parts, so the price of it was quite reasonable.
