twin turbo for NBS G.M. trucks

Okay guys-- I was thinking of trying to build a twin turbo truck. Not positive I will do it yet, I wanted to get some feedback.
I was thinking of getting someone to let me use their truck for R&D. They would get free labor, but have to pay for parts (no mark up). They must be able to let me have the truck for a while, maybe a month or so. If its a built engine, maybe twin t-60's through a front mount intercooler running 10psi to start.
I really just want some feedback and opinions right now. :burnout:

I know you probably don't want to write it on the site, but PM me with a ball park figure on the money I would need to come up with.

you know I'll do it. one condition.....insure me an 11 second e.t. or refund all $$$. Just kidding. I've spent enough on this pig.

damn ...a tt truck...squirrell would have to change his name again :lol:

billy,
I would have let u do it on my truck but, I had to sell my other ride so I could by the STS kit .

I was thinking about making tubular headers that come up and go forward. I think that would flow better that using some kind of stock manifold. Its all a matter of cost and room. It would certainly look bad ass with coated headers and turbos hanging off of them. :drool:

no shit..i can imagine that right now :drool: :drool:

Damn I wish I had an extra ride, and some extra cash. Pm expected expences if you dont mind. :burnout: :rock:

twin turbo kit would be awesome. i LOVE my truck. the only problem is running the exhaust for both turbos, cause it gets tight. at 15psi i ran a 11.67 my first run at 99mph. LOL tranny went BOOM. would you put the turbos on each side, or both up front?

Keep in mind, I am just kicking this around and it needs alot more thought, but

I was thinking the turbos up front on each side, relocate the battery, and hopefully run the exhaust under the headers if ther is room. From the turbos, to an intercooler with an inlet on each side and the single outlet in the center.
I could be way off since I havent looked at doing this enough. Keep the opinions and suggestions coming.

Get me a Geo to get to Montana and I will get you three weeks starting July 15th ending Aug 8th???? Yeh, I know, a pipe dream.:cry:....

We are in the middle of putting a forged short block in an '05 Yukon and for grins, I swapped the manifolds and turned them upside down. The pass side would almost be perfect. The drivers would be very close. It would work for 500 to 550, but I dont think you can ever get the big numbers out of manifolds :nutz:
A big single would be easier, but not nearly as cool.

i used a passenger manifold off a 99 camaro because it sat lower and a little more forward so the turbo sat in there better and wasnt so high
