Rear mount turbo c5 corvette

I'm looking to do a rear mount build on my c5 FRC very soon. My original goals are 500-550whp, with however much boost it takes to get there. This will be on the stock ls1, however I plan on building the motor down the road with 700-750whp goals. So I would like to have a turbo setup that will be capable of 750whp.
Heres my plan so far,
80lb siemens injectors
(2) walbro 255
Fuel rails
Boost referenced fuel pressure regulator w/ return line
Turbonetics hurricane 7868
60mm wastegate
Intercooler (undecided, treadstone maybe?)

Will I be able to make my goals on this?
Thinking about doing head gaskets, head bolts, and ls6 springs as well. Will this be necessary at 500ish?

I can say without a doubt that Zglass' set-up is absolutely NASTY and if I had to do it over again when I had my Vette it is exactly which way I would go. Its legit.

This is exactly how I want to build mine! Seen this build before, it's what made me want a rear mount on my car

What do you think about the turbo sizing? I feel it might be a bit small for 750?

Everybody knocks this turbo now that the larger exhaust wheel turbos are available. With the correct camshaft and wastegate selection theres no reason why it shouldn't make 750 to the tires thru a 6 speed. I'm planning on making the same power thru an auto on my car with a front mount.
