Re:twin turbo 5.0 question
That's what I was thinking, but he wants to use it for road racing and not drag. The spool time would kill him and the violent top end would toss him all around.

Re:twin turbo 5.0 question
2 T3/T4 wouldn't give him lag though if he gets 2 adequite sized T3/T4's it's a 5.0 V8 so it will push more exhaust frome either side alone compared to our puny 1.6 4-bangers and we a re using a T3/T4 on ours.
2 Td05h's uhmmm I don't know man ... It's on the small side though they would spool really quick though, but if you get a straith on the road coarse you would get pissed...

Re:twin turbo 5.0 question
True, but I don't think he is looking for gigantic power gains at high rpm. I would think he is looking for a super fast spooling setup since he isn't going for the fastest 1/4 mile time.

Re:twin turbo 5.0 question
My bone stock 5.0 hatchback ( had a few bolt ons ) had drag radials and a cobra clutch and broke 3 T-5 trannies in almost 8 months.
T-5 = no good, look into a T-56 from a 93-97 f-body camaro, I've heard the LS-1 T-56 isn't near a good.
My vote goes to (2) .60/.48 turbos off an automatic Turbo T-bird.
Or if he's willing to buy "custom" T3 turbos ( $600ish a piece ) I'd say 50-trim T3 with .48 exhuast side.
