It really comes down to sizing the kit. Single or twin.
Twins you are taking 1/2 the engine so your turbo is sized for 1/2 the cubes.
Go to big and they well be laggy. To small spool great but die up top.

One big down fall to twins is fitment. It a small tight area on drivers side. Lots of wires, brake lines, etc.

on my stock motor , aiming for 600whp
when I do forged internals will aim to 800whp with beefed up driveline

I have a set of these headers on a project that is in the works. Single t-70 on a 5.3 in a 3rd gen camaro. They do fit nice but I did have to open up the rear most bolt holes to get them to bolt up. I tried to load some pics but they failed.

I had a pair of there shortie headers on my 5.3 for years, but after the first year, the welds broke, and that was in living in las vegas, no humidity. I had a local exhaust shop re-weld them, and never had a problem again. I thought I would throw that out there, because i wasnt running a turbo, and the welds went on them.
