Default Suggestions on turbos for 6.0

Car is a 78 Mustang 2
4L60E, shift kit, vette servo
3500 TCI lockup convertor (10.5")
2001 6.0, stock bottom end
Going to do bowl porting on the 317 heads and some
LS1 intake
ported 78mm TB
Single stage of wet nitrous (probably 100 shot)
Ebay SS up and forward headers

Looking for some responsive turbos to make no more than 800hp, realistically more like 650 is fine.

Pump gas, possibly methanol injection.

Stock ECM

Your suggestions?

Any reason you want to do twins? You could easily get that number your looking for with a single and no nitrous.

I want to keep as much of the stock fenderwells and firewall as possible and there is no room for headers and twins makes that much easier. Plus the symmetry and spooling of twins is nice.

A couple Turbonetics TC58's would work nicely.
