general engine build help
Alright I have a 350 L98 tpi in my car right now that I am going to be pulling out in the next week or so and am doing a total rebuild and boring it to a 355 and putting a bigger cam in it. I am trying to set it up for a twin turbo set up that i plan to install next winter. I am just looking for general advice on what I am going to need and what brands are good for the money. This is my first ever build so I need all the advice I can get.

x2...goals, spending limit, how much can you do on your own and can you tune?

You may want to re-post your question over on the Forced Induction group. Those guys will have a bit more experience on what combo. of parts work best. There are other forced induction forums out there if you run out of reading material here...

Low 13's or high 12's can be achieved with a strong N/A 350, I think. You do not really need twin turbos for that goal.
