Twin Turbo setup on a 383 TPI/TBI/LT1 in a truck?

Hey guys, havent been around in awhile but I'm tossing around some new ideas. I'm at school now finally (Cal Poly) and go to thinking my dad's senior project here was a turbo system for a 4banger toyota. I know its over the top, unecessary and probably easier to to do other ways, but when me and my dad get to building the new engine for my truck this winter i'd like to run a home brew custom TT setup. We still havent settled on TBI/TPI on a stock 350 base stroked to 383, or an LT1 with the same treatment. This is a truck build, so looking for lower end power. I know a supercharger is probably a better bet, but I want to be different and over the top. So what do you all think? Where should i start, how possible is this? What would be a reasonable amount of boost to run, what about a variable boost system?

Basically if im going to do it i want to do it right, and have every bell and whistle i can afford even if its impractical.

Thanks

Not that I'm advocating it, but the Poweradder mods may tolerate the topic.

I'm constrained, however, to General Rules...
