Default LY6 build

I have a SBE 6.0 LY6/4l80e build with ls3 heads ported, BTR springs and all that stuff, ls3 intake, ls3 fuel rails, D585 coilpacks, and a BTR stage 3 cam. I was gonna go Na and nitrous down the road but lately I’ve been wanting to spruce it up a bit and decided to go twin turbo. I was reading that 60mm twins are the best way to go for instant boost and for the most hp with a SBE at 10-15 lbs of boost. I was gonna ask what’s the best “bang for your buck” turbo to get and best injectors for that set up? I was thinking of going with a racecraft or Walbro 255 fuel pump but was recommended to get a double pump. Any feed back would be great thanks!

How much power do you want to make? That will help determine the turbo size and amount of boost you'll need to run.

Overbuild the fuel system because you will want more power down the line.
One walbro 255 will definitely not be enough. I would run two walbro 450's. They're cheap and proven.

I’ve read a couple of forums with people with twin turbo set ups, running 14 lbs of boost making over 900hp crank. I wanted to see those numbers.
