Default need help with a build

I was wondering what all would need to be done to run these injectors?SDX IV

I want to get twin turbo my truck but dont know what size i should go with. I'm guessing I'll need to get some delivery valves too, but which ones? What all is needed? any help?

I have a 180 gph @ 50 psi FASS fuel pump, 4k gov springs, and 60lb valve spring that will be going on the truck in the next few days.

For street twins go 362/475, but I'd go stage III on the injectors. The stage IVs are getting kinda big to do much towing with.

i tow about 8000 pounds at the most. I already have my tranny built. intput shaft, triple disc, and valve body.i also have a deep transmission pan. Im want my truck to BE between 550 and 600 hp but still streetable. My tranny is done. I have a FASS pump already, i just need to figure out when ill have a near empty tank and time to install it at the same time. Ive got 4k governor springs and 60 pound valve springs, and im putting my gauges in this weekend (finally). i would like to run twins. money isnt the issue so i want to get some powerful but reliable turbos and some nice injectors to match. Im guessing ill probably need some delivery valves as well. I know my truck will always smoke but I want to minimize the black smoke. Im past that stage already and dont need any tickets anyways.

I just dont know what turbos, injectors, and delivery valves would be good for me. if there is anything else i should be looking for, please let me know. any help would be nice.

my truck was stock until 115000 miles and is at 145000 now. do you guys think my pump needs to be rebuilt? i didnt even think about having my pump rebuilt.

keep your stock dv's. If money is not an option look into a garrett BB charger for your primary. if you don't wanna spend that much coin check out forced inductions garrett trubos cheeper than a s475 and will spool and flow way better.

Well when I decide to get the compounds, I'm going to buy some quality turbos. No sense in going cheap. But I'm not sure which turbos will work with the injectors that i posted earlier.
