All my husband has in his car is Engine, Transmission, Clutch and Flywheel.

Haha yea, and I do appreciate it...
Now if anyone could tell me how much boost it would take to make 1250 RWHP on a 5 liter super mod with FR500 Heads (~8000 Redline) and a level 10 aluminum block, running 10.1:1 compression, that would be a lifesaver.
...and how to divide that boost amongst four turbos...
Just a thought.

Im trying to help my husband building his car.

Ok lady, (if you really are a women). I was nice at first but now I am going to have to say something. You need to just stop posting such silly things. And Luckey13 is correct there is no need for four turbos to make 1200 hp. It can be done better, easier and cheaper with 2 or even one. Also if you guys are asking these very simple questions you are not ready to build such a car. Use the wonderful tool called the internet and start doing some reading.

The reason for four is simple...
The choice with twin turbos is between having two turbos acting in parallel, and having two turbos operating in different bands of efficiency (sequential).
With a V-style engine, parallel turbos are most effective, and save alot of space on exhaust plumbing, since you can keep each turbo on either side of the driveshaft (and I'm talking remote mounted)...
And therefore, in order to have two turbos acting in parallel at two peak efficiencies (2500 RPM and 5000 RPM) the solution is to use two sequential banks of two parallel turbos.
My wife is opposed to the idea of building an expensive car, so she's asking what the bare minimum is to make it run--that way she can argue with me when I say I need a set of 150# injectors, or $700 coil over plugs.
I hope that makes sense.
