planning on using twin garret gt4718 turbos

running between 5-15 psi for street vs strip, overall goal would like to get close to 1000hp to make the tbird do a 10 second pass

maybe twin garret gt5533r's its between those 2 turbos, and the a/f ratio i end up using, right now im looking into how to lighten the rotors too, im hoping to build the best engine i can.
