Default getting rid of vortech and going twin turbo

im selling my vortech supercharger and switching to a twin turbo kit. I am going to get the huron speed twin turbo kit for the hot side and fab up my own cold side. Ive done a couple builds but nothing like this and its my first turbo build. 1000rwhp is my goal. im deciding between twin 67 or 76 turbos. What oil pumps water pumps and radiators are recommended for this kind of power. I don't think the stock radiator will be enough and I know I need a high volume oil pump. water pump im not sure about. I am looking at Thompson motor sports and aes for a 370 or 390 block that can handle 1000-1500 horse. what turbos do you guys recommend and twin intercooler. Any advice is appreciated

Ive got twin 70mm turbonetics with stock 317's, stock intake, stock tb and a fully forged 408. I made 760 whp hp on 15lbs with 93 octane and meth. That's through a M6, 9 inch and 4.11 gears. Car will easily push 900 whp on 18lbs. The only issues I have had is with cooling. I have a zirgo 16" 3200 cfm fan with the griffin radiator everyone switches to for turbo set ups. The temp slowly creeps while the car is sitting. My advice is over engineer the cooling system as much as you can. The stock fans pull way more cfm than any aftermarket fan. Im going to find a way to fit my stock fans and radiator. Seems like a lot of people have dealt with this same overheating issue, so I would look into that if I was you.

Huron Speed can get you Bullseye Products. For only 1000whp, some 362s would be plenty.
