What sized Twins are guys running on a healthy 408? Anyone try a pair of GT4088's? I'm looking at those if I go twins.

I'm installing a GT47-88 soon.

But twins would package up nicer.

^Some PTE67BBs would be a good option as well, they flow a bit more than the 4088s on the lower boost range, so streetable efficiency wouldn't be a problem...granted, it wouldn't be a problem either way. Go with whichever is more cost effective.
