408 Build

Hey whats up guys I just picked up a 6.0 Iron block from my buddy for $300.00 and I had it checked out and went ahead and had it bored out to a 408. I finally decided I wanted to go with a turbo set up, and I was just wondering if I should go with a twin or single turbo setup. And from here I can choose what bottom, and top end I want to go with...

Ya I was thinking the same thing as far as running all that piping for a twin turbo because I plan on dropping my motor inside of a datsun 280z and theres going to be clearance issues already as it is with the 408 inside of the engine bay. so I'm not going to have much space and I probably would benefit from a single turbo because I could also use the lag from a single turbo for traction control

hahaha

Does anyone prefer twin turbo over a single turbo on these motors?
money really isn't an issue I just want to know where I would get the most reliable performance from.
