I used to run twin 54mm garrett turbos, just a tad over 600rwhp.(5.3l,forged) only time it went down the track was a 11.67@99mph. the trans didnt shift into third. then got booted for no helmet. I really got sick of all the plumbing so i went with a gt40-88. I put a smaller turbine housing on it to help spool. I have yet to get it running correctly to take it down the strip. more tuning is really needed

Looking good Justin. Hopefully once you get it back together you won't have any problems cause I wanna see it run the next time I'm in town.
