Default New to the ls

Hi I'm new to the ls engines. I have a 6.0 cast engine. Looking to twin turbo on a budget. It's going to go into a 69 galaxie. Looking to get around 700hp or close to it. If someone can help with the right turbo size and the hole build of the engine that would be great.

Twins are too much for that hp level. You're looking at some tiny turbos. Just keep it simple with a single and get where you want to be

Rumor has it if you ignore the sloppy mechanics wiki (which covers turbo ls builds), a wizard named Denmah will come build it for you.

Google it if you don't believe me.

Ok well we skippes straight over my first comment so I'll give you the standard comment of these boards. You didn't provide anything useful to give you any advice. Twins is a pain in the *** for that power level. Cam advice requires a lot more information and no one on here will give you any real decent advice. Call a cam grinder explain your set up and they can help. Injectors and fuel pump depend on what fuel you are using so no one can help there so far. I agree there are a million and one turbo builds on the forums to look at and sloppy wiki has a step by step how to to make all sorts of different power levels. Welcome to ls tech

It's been some time since I built an engine. 700hp was a big feet. So what in getting is that doing the twin turbos 700 is chump change of a goal. I would like to run on pump gas like 93 or 91. What else do I need to provide for better info?
