Default Twin Turbo Qusetion.

How much would I have to build up the inside of a 5.0 to handle a Twin Turbo Kit? Would the track kit from Trick Flow be good enough?

+1 to what rbarn said. Plus you said build up the "inside". The TF TH kit has nothing to do w/ internals anyway. Just make sure you have the right fuel requirements, etc. for a kit. Depending on if you build a DYI kit or buy a kit most kits either come with injectors, etc. or you can purchase them seperatly.

i would't do it without forged pistons, and upgraded ex valves - but im the kind of person that doesnt like my motor coming apart in little bitty pieces

and depending on the HP which should be pretty damn high i would want better rods/rod bolts.

Forged pistons are always a plus but they are not NEEDED... just preferred.

no, i hear the later model motors had forged pistons. but if you run forced induction with stock ex valves and crap pistons your a fool IMO
