Default What's the best turbo setup for a 434?

I am about to start my build for my Silverado truck and HKE is doing an ERL 434 CI. My question is, what is the best turbo or turbos to go with? Want to make 1300-1500 RWHP. I wanted to run the new 8891 CEA but I think I'll be shy from my goal. I want quick turbo spool up. Turbo gurus please chime in. Thanks.

What is the truck going to be used for? Since you got the $$$ for that badass motor I would do twins with the new billet 76mm/T4 BW from Jose. Make the power easily and spool nicely!

truck will be for track but will take it out for a spin once in a while, I really don't mind going with twins. I will talk to mu turbo kit builder and see what we can set up but twins will probably be my best bet. will be running mast cylinder heads with this combo. if I can make more than 1500 rwhp even better.

The new borg warner billet 88 should get you to 1400 or like mentioned two billet ETR 76mm fro. Those are good for 2000-2200hp

yea they are ******* beasts! one of those is capable of 1k to the wheels so i think you would have more turbo than you need but with the right turbine and A/R housing it would spool great! i think those turbos will be the best bang for your buck

the carbon fiber outlets dont add much hp, with that being said i am going to be ordering one for my 80mm
