Twin Turbo 1995 Chevy 4-Door
I am starting my custom build on my 1995 Chevy 4-door short bed. I plan on swapping in a 1996 Cummins. Mods will include head studs, Cometic MLS head gasket or factory Cummins head gasket, Valve springs, and a 4k gsk. NV4500 for now, but plan on upgrading to a 6-speed down the road. I would like a compound setup for towing, 400ish HP. I am thinking stock HX35W with maybe a S471, but I would like to hear others input. I want it to spool fast. All the S471 turbos I have seen are twin scroll, is that what is generally used on compound setups?

My buddy has spent fistloads of money on his 6BT (including compounds) to have both quick spooling for DD use, and also have the 500-600hp dyno number he wants. He doesn't tow... at all. The odd load of firewood is the only workout it gets. Runs 35-37" tall tires with 3.54 gears and breaks NV4500s repeatedly.
It really seems a waste, IMO, to go that route for bragging rights.
OTOH, you can have a very versatile truck with some fuel mods and a HE351CW. No, you probably can't pull 6% grades at 20,000 gross in OD.... but whats that worth to you?
