Default single

I would suggest goin with a singel turbo setup.Twins means 2x everyting from oil lines to piping etc and there aint much space around an lt1. Power master turbos make a 70mm for about 585 shipped. And 8psi with supporting mods would make about 450rwhp +/- a couple of ponys . Good luck

I agree a single turbo would be better. The lt1 has plenty down low, needs more up top, wich is what a big single will give it!
