Default got questions need advise please

Ok i have a 97 2 foor tahoe yhst has a 5/7 static drop moyor has high miles planned on ls swap well recently i have had the chance to get a complete 2012 4.8 ls plus tranny and computer and wiring harness now i was already contemplating doing a lq4 install but i got all of the above for really cheap my delima is do i do the 4.8 and twin turbo i want to do something out of the ordinary instead of like most doing a 5.3 or 6.0 swap im looking for somewhere around 700 plus hp its not a daily driver and wont see a track more then likely i have plans for a straight show and go truck i guess my question is is the 4.8 worth building for a twin turbo setup or do i go single turbo just bigger ive read the articles but im wanting real comments from people that wont write something just to write itdum

Single or twins is purely up to you. Just remember with twins you'll need to pay for the extra turbo, the extra wastegate , extra piping and fitment. Extra oil feed and return....

You can hit your goal either way. Its up to you how you want to do it.

And JoeNova is right, either works, twin costs more but could have packaging advantages
