Twin turbo 5.3 
Plan on putting twin turbos i have off of a 14' Cadillac sport in a pickup but I can not find any specs on the turbos, I know they were on the 6cyl engine but with a stockish 5.3 it should be enough, right? I'm thinking they should spool up pretty quick, probably going in a 97 gmc 4x4 or a 76 chevy.
Appreciate the any info

Edited with measurements, truck will be a 97 gmc 4x4 with small tires, 4l80 and stock 5.3 with good gasket and studs, shooting for 500-600 at the wheels, also will be spraying methanol after 8-10 pounds probably , what size intercooler would yall recommend? This will be a 2wd appearing street truck with little track time, thanks for the help
So like 43mm compressors. 45mm exh wheel exducer? Hard to tell on the exh wheel, looks like the caliper isn't on the minor portion of the wheel. Either way 43mm compressors are pretty tiny. You can get decent sized turbos that will meet your goals for $128 each. I wouldn't bother with those.

Okay that's what I needed to know, I'm sorry it is not on the minor portion of the wheel, didn't know I needed to measure that part, guess I'm gonna get a pair of on3 gt30's then, appreciate the help as I'm new to the ls world, I come from the outboard v6 two stroke world lol

I think I want a t3 flange since I am doing twins, unless towing a little (light boat) will affect which one is more desirable. I'm not sure on what size to get, does wanting launch in 4wd affect what wheel size I need? Forgot to mention it will have a cam in it
