Default 5.3l turbo options

Im looking to start a new set up. Be a max effort 5.3l with custom cam and 243/799 heads. Be a street monster more than anything. leaning towards the pt88, but my go with twin tc70s, and last option is other. if you put other, please leave a suggestion for a turbo. The set up is a 2001 fbody and th400 trans (may go 4l80e). also will be air/water intercooled. Taking every precaution to make sure the car will hook in dirt also.

I'll be sending my 96mm turbined s475 to forced inductions to be upgraded to the 84mm billet v3 wheel with race cover when I get my 5.3 ready. I plan to test its limits. José says that will make monster power on a 5.3.
