I'm pretty damn sure that nobody currently makes a twin-turbo kit for the LT1. However, I was thinking if maybe Banks Engineering or someone could custom make one for a LT1? It might be a possibility, im going to call Banks tomorrow and see

I don't really see the point in a twin turbo on a car that has soo much low end torque, i personally would just go with a larger single turbo for high rpm. but who knows maybe you want to alot.....

plus its just that much more expensive, you have double of everything......

i'm just interested in twin turbo kits b/c i see these banks engineering 350 small block TT kits and they have 1100 hp, thats insane, thats all. But i guess that much power wouldnt be too streetable

no its def. not, my friend has a ls6 with about 1000hp and he just goes through tires like its no ones business. i'd look at the sts remote mount turbos, they have alot of cost and maintinence advantages and plus people make good power on them.

I agree with you ^^^^. After a certain point, HP for a street car really reaches a limit. I am goin with a 500 HP N/A 383. I figure in a year I will toss on a blower with a little boost, just a little. After that, I have pretty much reached the end of REAL daily driven streetable power. After that it becomes more of a hasle than an asset. All you can really do with HUGE #'s is go around telling guys that you have a motor that is nuts. Too bad that is all you can really do. Oh and . Like said earlier.
