Twin turbo/cam recommendations

I am researching and preparing to do a twin turbo setup on a stock LS1.

I have thing for semetry so I must do a twin setup to manage my OCD.

I am on a tight budget so I am looking at "eBay" turbo's.

I don't want to reinvent the wheel, so I am Hoping folks can share their setup and results.

I am thinking a couple 55-60mm turbos would be in order

I would like to push ~700hp.

Thanks in advance,

Jaime

For example I was looking at the GT 35's and 45's on eBay.

That seems like a lot of work to put on a stock ls1 making 700, but yes, twin 55s will make 700 and spool crazy fast, but all that low end tq WILL hurt your poor engine.

Have Martin at Tick suggest a cam for you. He helped me with mine and is real knowledgeable. I'm getting ready to finish up a TTbuild as well. Mine is a 364ci, Tick LS2 stage 1 cam and turbonetics 6665's

I'm using twin gt35s with an ls6 cam
Trapped 137 at 18 lbs of boost, car weighs just a little under 3900

I'd guess it's making somewhere around 700 wheel
