Can we see pics of the Silverado setup? Not being a jag off, just asking because I like outside the box installs on GM stuff. Thanks.

I believe a twin setup with Evo 8 16G's would be fantastic actually, however I doubt it will get done in this particular thread. The Evo 8's use a twin scroll turbine housing, that when piped correctly can greatly help low end spool which leads to better torque/power lower in the RPM scale. The turbo uses an inconel turbine wheel (lighter than most standard off the shelf turbine wheel materials) which helps with rotational energy.

Back in the day I helped a good friend put two Evo 3 16G's on a 5.0L SBF which had a good cam, aluminum heads, big intake manifold, 9:1 compression ratio and the car really hustled even on the older technology Evo 3 16G turbos. The car would go high 10's on any given night. I know this is apples and oranges comparing what ever motor is in this explorer (hell I don't even know to be honest) vs. a half way built 5.0, but it worked pretty well.

You could very well be correct that it might be a little laggy, but this is an automatic so the turbo won't loose as many RPM's between shifts as a manual transmission. Screw it all, put two Evo 8 16G's on it and tweak it up on Mega-Squirt! WOOOOOO!
