Moto, that's hilarious. But here's a question for you. Anyone know if the 5.7 STS system will work on 4.7? I've looked at it and I'm sure with enough time I could MAKE it fit. eh?

Call up sts and tell them your application, they make custom kits for any vehicle. I think it would work except for one part, the intake. Being that the two trucks are identical in set up minus the motor that would be the only hard part is out fitting the system to work in that area, as for all the remote mount tubing and mounting, It would probably work as the 5.7 and 4.7 trucks are the same thing motor and tranny aside.

Why twins?

A single turbo will make more power than these motors can handle.

twins would just be twice the costs of turbos, turbo timers, and boost controllers and gauges when the stock block would never handle the power they could reach (assuming they where quite large). its like the supra guys and skyline guys. most switch to single set ups as its cheaper for parts and also more power is to be made (given that more lag will be had as well) it would be sick but i wouldnt waste the money on it

You wouldn't need big turbos, in fact, smaller turbofans would have better low-end torque. Get the high-end HP without the low-end lag of just a big single turbo.

it woudlnt double the price of the kit... you only need one turbo timer and a lot new boost controllers are able to control dual turbo's. twin turbos does make it harder to tune. its easier to fow more air with one BIG turbo.

The STS 5.7 kit should work fine on the 4.7 from a physical fitment standpoint. You'll just need to get a GT35 turbo vs. the T60-1 or GT67 that comes with the hemi.

For power output, twinswould be a waste IMO depending on the boost levels and power levels you want to run. To do it for the looks and conversation is a different story.

SORRY DEANJ287, BUT YOU WOULD ONLY NEED ONE TURBO TIMER, ONE BOOST CONTROLLER, AND ONE SET OF GAUGES,ON A TWIN TURBO SET UP ( REMEMBER THERE IS ONLY ONE INTAKE MANIFOLD ON THE CAR!!!!!).
