Pretty new to the site. So after picking up my first V from the east coast ended up having a rod through the block I've decided to do a LSX 427 Twin turbo build. Here's the parts list so far, I will get some pictures posted soon, this is my first 1000+ HP build so I'm learning along the way.

+1 Huron is the new go-to game in town that's for sure. BMR is a great company and I like their R&D on their kits, but I can't imagine they'll be selling too many more?
Sounds like it’s going to be a sweet build! I have a 1000+ rwhp car myself (not my V) so if I have any advice to give it’d be to make sure your cam is spec’d by a reputable cam guy that knows his turbo cams, and considering you mentioned some track days along with mainly street driving I’d really consider just giving the 6l90e some upgrades. Stock ones are proven reliable with good tuning at 800. I can’t see why a built 6l90e wouldn’t be more then ideal considering it could handle 1000+. Also no extra fab work and no extra electronic and interior modifications. Again those are just my opinions. Each to there own. Good luck with everything!
I agree if your going to be on the street the 6l90 should work and you don't have to do all that banging and stuff and having a 1000+ hp on the street will just to have conversation 700 to 800 is a fun and a fight
Woo! Awesome build! I think this makes 4 twin turbo builds going on at the same time! I have my build going on here. If you have any questions about the kit or how we did certain things feel free to shoot me a PM and I will hopefully help in any way possible.

Lobe velocity, rocker arm ratio, spring material, heat. . . especially on the exhaust side, etc.
But generally speaking it will be less than the ~20k - ~30k miles one would expect with 0.600" lift.
Another issue would be the requirement of a good roller rocker arm that sweeps the valve correctly.
In this case (no surprise) the builder has recommended a Crower Rocker Arm..
Most usually go to a better rocker once the 'Net Lift' exceeds ~0.635" valve lift.
Yet some are running around with valve lifts up around 0.660" with standard rocker arms
on LS3 builds and have no problems that I know of.
Why do you say that? Their quality has gone up a lot in the last few years. They used to be crap but their new gen 2 turbos are great and small for the power output vs a similar size BW EFR for example.

The car actually runs pretty dang good on pump of course I'm only running light tune and 800rwhp @ 7psi. She’s all ready to go just waiting for my tuner to have an opening so we can turn it up on E85, I still have a bunch of timing and psi to add!
I didn't read the turbo size before I posted. That's quite a volume of air. Takes me @ 12.5 psi to break 800 rw, but I have baby turbos and way less fancy heads. Looking forward to track numbers. Be safe.
I’m hoping to get my E85 tune by the end of the month and crank the timing up some more with 28psi reving to 8k. Then it will be time to do some testing on the track!
I don’t want to take away to much from the OP build but it’s ATF level5 fully built 3000HP+ with a CO2 3-speed with a Pro Torque converter and a Gear vender OD unit.
