Default LS1 Twin turbo

Hey dudes

Just want some advice on my current Ls1 build
What I have is a Ls1 with 241 cathedral port heads in stock form.
Is has a super victor efi intake with an edelbrock elbow going into a 90mm throttle,

What injectors would you recommend? I was thinking 65lbs ones not sure

Wanting purchase turbos in the next couple of weeks, what I have in mind is the turbonetics hurricane series called "Lety" they have a 66mm comp wheel.

The camshaft kit that iam looking at which is made here in australia is a vcm -6
Basic specs are 600 lift on both 230@ 50 on both with L/C at 114

I may have the heads cnc ported I need advice as to weather or not there is much gain doing this.

The bottom end will freshened up with rings and bearings and a hone
The engine will run 98 octane fuel which I can get anywhere here.

With this said I have been told I can run around 10psi safely and make around 400 RWKS

I was also thinking about putting callies compstar rods in the bottom end CP bullet pistons in it I have been told I can run around 15-17psi with these components using the stock block and crank and hopefully make around the 550 RWKS
Any advise would be great as Iam new to the LS stuff

By the way the engine is going in my 55 chev 2 door hardtop will have a 2 speed powerglide with around a 3500 stall

Welcome.
The 65 lbs injectors will work for your current goals but would probably run out of steam when you bump it up to 15-17 psi. I would just get some 80's now and not have to buy them again later.

I'm not a turbo expert by any means, I would post up a thread in the forced induction section. You'll get all the help and advice you need.

my bad didnt read the rest of your post, a small set of twins will get you to that 500 range pretty easy... why twins ? could achieve that with one and be alot less $$$
