twin turbos for a 6.0
twin turbos for a 6.0 I have a 2001 S-10 that I have done a 6.0 swap on and I now need to rebuild it due to a recent accident. It is a 2000 LQ4 6.0 with the cast iron heads. and it still has the truck intake.
I would like to get around 550 -600 crank hp with a 6200-6400 rpm red line
I have 315-35 -17 tires on the rear and plan on running a 3.55 or 3.27 ratio in my 8.8 ford rear end.
It already has a 4L80E transmission so I am not worried about that.
I would also like to keep it semi-daily drivable
My questions are-
What turbos would be best for what i want to do?
What stall would be best for my trans and gear selection?
I also have the option to change to 241? heads (from a 2005 GTO).
Would the cast iron head be better for boost or should I switch heads? I think I should but I want an opinion of someone more experienced.
If any more info is needed just ask.
Thanks

I have done a lot more reading and I am starting to figure some of it out, but it has also raised some new questions.
When running twins do you divide your air consumption between the two equally or do you need to figure for more than half for each turbo.
So far a GT3582R seems to be a good choice for the turbos if I am figuring it out correctly but i would like some insight.

GARRETT To4e's are like like 600.00 and they can support up to 450 each, at around 18 psi. so you could run about 8 psi out of twins should be easy 600 whp. 550 crank hp is not hard at all. but if your going to spend 1200 bucks on two turbos might as well get some that can handle 650 crank hp. and then 750 hp and then 850 hp.
you can bet later on in the future you will want to "turn the power up" and these turbos will be able to support the addiction your about to fore-go.

Well I found out my truck has 873 heads (cast iron) and the ones i got to swap on it are actually 243 heads. So I was wondering if that changes any opinions?
When you say a 60mm turbo are you talking about the inducer or exducer on the compressor side or turbine side?
Like i said i am not familiar with turbos yet, but i have been doing a lot of reading because i want to do it right the first time.
