Default thinking of changing things again. help me decide.

ok since im sick and twisted im thinking of changing my set up again. its apart because I had an accident (not my fault and no I wasn't racing) and there have already been a lot of "well since im there" upgrades but now im going off the deep end I think. my set up right now is a 2012 Camaro ss lsx376 fully forged bottom end, 10 to 1 comp, tick stage 2 turbo cam, ls3 cnc ported tsp heads, holley high ram, billet s480 t4 96mm 1.25 ar front mount, 4l80e, 4000 stall triple disc ptc and 345 rear gears. it works really well but I saw a Camaro on instagram with a 88mm borg through the hood with a hood exit exhaust and I fell in love. cant get it out of my head. the guy is Camaro kyle if anyone wants to look it up. my idea is to sell my s480 and go twins alla instagram Camaro style. I have looked and I am trying to decide which turbos I wanna do or if I should even do this.

im looking at the vs racing vs480 billet t4 83/73 turbine1.01 ar, vs475 billet t4 83/73 turbine 1.01 ar or the vs billet 7875 .96 ar. I like the s400 type cause the 4 inch pipe would look cooler but im not against the 7875 if the s400s will spool like ****.

what does everyone think. am I stupid or good crazy to think about this. how bad would the spool be on each set up. I know it will be a guess from everyone but please guess away.

What's your goal? Do you have a target HP goal or a better street response in mind, when it comes to turbo's you always get what you pay for and sizing twins for the power your building will yield a very boost responsive motor, if your deciding to use E85 or Meth injection you could bump your compression for an even better response, even with that single.... its all in the package and cam selection for your desired goal...
How responsive is you current setup and what are you trying to improve upon with a new setup? You going for a new look as well as performance?

At the end of the day, its your ride and we all want that SMILE factor!!

I want all the power!!! Ok really no dead set goal. I turned the s480 up till power stopped going up. In just wanting it mostly for looks. The current set up spools around 3500 or so. Its very responsive. By the time I floor it its making boost. I already run e85. I was just looking for an idea of how slow the twin vs480s would spool and if it would lag a lot more then my current set up. I figure dropping the tubine that small it should be about the same but I could be surprised.
