Question Turbo Help!

I am wanting to build a turbo motor for my 01 Z28. I just have a couple of questions that came to me before I start buying and building. One ? is that should I use a 427 or a LS6. The other and last ? for right now is should I build it for twin or single set-up...once I decide what set-up to build, then I'm going to build a full chassis on my car. If you wouldn't mind, would you please give me all of your opinions. Thanks.

There are WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY too many ways of looking at this....

1. How much money do you have?
2. How much power do you need?
3. Is it a daily driver or track car?
4. There are in-betweens other than an LS6 or a 427.. 402s, 408s...
5. Do a search... This topic has been up 345345456456456456 times.

Honestly i would just type "turbo" in the search and start reading threads.

The "LS6" is a block, 427 are cubes. I think you have a lot of reading to do .
