Twin Turbo
What, if there are any, do you all feel is the best twin turbo system for a C3 Corvette. I am going to be rebuilding the engine, so it will have upgraded internals. The tranny, suspension, and interior will also be upgraded cause I will be restoring a neglected car. I want the twin turbo set-up cause there is no lag time and- ITS JUST PLAIN COOL! Custom built? Maybe, you help me decide.

I've seen turbo headers available on ebay, do a search. Not sure if they'll fit though being that our engines are offset.

Regardless of the way you go, I think you will have to do some custom work somewhere.
Of course, you could try to get your hands on a turnkey "off-the-shelf" system like Twin_Turbo has...
You should check out his car and work...
