Just get some on-center T70's. Build the setup around them and you can easily step up to 72's and 76's w/o much more work.
If you are doing a single plane you may want to go ahead and use the mega's ability to run 16 injectors. Do you REALLY want to trust your meth setup at that hp level? I wouldnt. What is your fuel pump set up? I think you'll need like twin Aeromotive Elminator pumps.
And I dont think it will be too tough to fab up twin turbo's with stock manifolds either.
EDIT: There's 3 things I dont like about that Lightning. A) restrictive air filter, B) restrictive down pipe, and C) restrictive inlet tubing. What's next, a dented 3" OBX up front?

Your setup looks alot like mine. When will that thing be running?

aren't the gt42's really big for the amount of airflow you get. i was told a gt42 is larger than the pt88 i have now.
i like the twin 70's idea with the ability to jump up to 76's easy down the road. as far as spooling goes i am going to bump up my stall and run a shitload of nitrous if i need to off the line. i will do what i have to for them to spool but i dont want to go overkill and make it any harder on myself than i have to.
what is a s95? simple would be ok with me.

Why don't you just put a bigger single on there? So you don't have to change much on your setup? I mean twins would be badass, but I would think that you should hit that number with a bigger single and the bottle?

i would be fine i with a large single but i wont be able to use much if any of the parts i now have. i also just got a sweet tig welder and want to fab something up. i will err on the small side only if i can do an easy swap to a larger turbo down the road. i would hate to build a system around a turbo that i might max out again and one that doesn't have a larger turbo that is an easy swap, this pt88 i have is that way. nothing will swap in it's place.
why does that turbo on that ford look soo big? what the heck is that?

Can you take the stock manifolds and flip them around, so that the outlet is pointing upward and forwards? That way, all you would have to fab is two pipes to connect the turbo flanges to the manifold flanges.
Oh and 2 DP's too.

We have Twin GT42Rs with the 74MM on Chris's Car.
With the 394CI Duttweiler SBC is almost spools too fast.
We may end up trying the new Mid Frame GT47 with the T4 Turbine Side.
Something to consider is the twin 4 inch down pipes you will need.

no wonder he's only running a 9.7 with a 101mm.
