Default TT question

I am new here to the boards and had a question about a TT LS1 or LS6.I would like to build a LS1 or LS6 with TT's and a intercooler.I just wanted to know what is the best combo to go with.I have heard sticking with the stock bore is better for reliability but I would like to go a bit bigger.Anyway I havent purchased anything yet so any help would be great thanks.

What kind of power are you after?

Street car? Race car?

Budget? Willing to fabricate?

Details please

Yeah I believe details are needed on your car. I share the same question, I'm looking for a good street driven car on twin turbos, I go back and forth on what I want supercharger, diffrent engine etc, I was wondering how much would a twin turbo kit cost on my LS1 with 80,000 miles, and what else would I need, I assume exhaust of course, and problably a cam and lower compression. Any help would be nice, such as what else I need and where to go.

If I can answer any question also I'll make sure to reply again.
