Default Twin Turbos Build Plans...

Interested in putting together a streetable twin turbo set up based on a forged LS1 stock bore/stroke block. Looking for around 9.5 - 9.8 static compression with AFR 215cc heads using LS9 head gaskets and ARP studs.

I plan on using a stock LS6 intake (with 78mm TB), 60lb injectors with a boost referenced FPR. I am planning on a TSP 224R cam (224/224 .581"/.581" on 114* LSA) with OE rockers.

At the moment I am leaning towards Comp Oil-less CT3-6062 turbos (.81 A/R on T4 flange - http://www.compturbo.com/products/ct3billet/ct3_6062) fed from OE manifolds. I am really trying to stick with the Oil-less units so I do not have to go through the nightmare of running the oil lines, scavenge pumps, etc. Also, I hear these turbo's spool really fast so they would be good on the street.

Overall I am looking in the neighborhood of 700 rwhp if possible while maintaining drivability and maybe even some economy, lol.

Appreciate any/all comments and suggestions. This is a re-post from the Forced Inductions section....thought I might get additional info here.
