any of the above is going to get you there.

good luck.
Thanks yeah I like a quick spool, will going with a smaller exhaust housing hurt anything? Like top end or overall power?

Those are nice and 1500hp worth of turbo! Pretty pricey though... How much power do you really want and drive train to support? Keep them small if you don't want to to be lazy.

I really want at least to be able to hit 1000 to all 4 wheels more would just be a plus. Dont know if my drivetrain will like it too much but will look into upgrading eveything of coarse. You think with a 81 ar on both turbos it will spool good?

How about you just order another 72mm, like the one you have.. Should make for a nice all around set-up.. You can always play with the exhaust housings...

I would just get another 72. If you are determined to get new turbos, I think you could accomplish it with 61's if you wanted to. 67's IMO would be perfect.

im running twin gt-35's or 62mm comp or 68mm turbine. im upgrading them to billet compressor wheels but still debatin on which to use , garret, pte or a few other choices , im waiting to hear back from some inquireies. i can tell you im making 1000 awhp if not a bit more with the trap speed and weight of my truck . making about 16-17 psi on a 427 lsx 9.0-1 compression with tea tfs 6 bolt 235cc heads. havent turned it up yet and will be running 50/50 114/91 octane & meth . it has alot more left in it and my goal is 9's in a 5700lb ecsb ss with awd .

your problem is the 6l80 , doubt it will take that much power.

Yeah know what you mean parts for my trans are a little scarce right now and prob gonna be my breaking point. I would love to make a 10 second pass would like to make it a goal. 1000+hp and 10s and I'll be happy. So guess those 68 a/r turbo don't choke it up that's good I'm kinda new to turbos and stuff so yeah I know a little bit but like on stuff like sizes and compressor maps I'm still learning. Thanks for the input gives me a round about of what I'm looking for.

Anything in the 60's sizes will get you there. and keeping the a/r down is a good thing for spool.
Since you are only feeding 1/2 the cubes per turbo you can run smaller everything. Looking at Turbo maps etc, keep that in mind.
Lighting's kits we just wrapped up were 67/65 T3 stuff from Precision. Rated at 700hp each turbo. Those guys will be in the 23-28psi range with their set ups.
I think the real good area not to over look in making this much power is the inter cooler system you will need.
Sounds like it is gonna be a fun build.
