I just talked to turbonetics and the largest turbo I can get is a to4E 60 for 800hp max falling short of my 1,000 to 1200 hp goal.
Switch to blowthru and problem solved

Get two turbos for a hot air turbo Buick. 1981 were hot air cars. I think some of the late 70's trans AMs were hot air as well.
You want to make big power but will never make it with your approach. You could do a single 88 and blow thru and accomplish your goals. You know how to make headers now and you ain't scared to spend the $$. I would think you would want the HP without the hassle.
i don't have to make big power but ya gotta start somewhere.You must understand that my goal is for a draw thru not a blow thru good bad or other I am finding what the limits are and go from there.

You are obviously set on a draw thru. Just get the biggest offerings and live with what you end up with. Looks seem more important than function here anyway. If you like the look of a draw thru system, then you need to be prepared for all the down sides that go with it. The less than stellar all out performance goes hand in hand with very poor cold start, laggy spool up, poor cyl to cyl distribution, detonation, explosive boost tubes, etc... I've gone this route, and believe me, it aint worth the hassle if power is what you're after. For cruise nights or whatever it looks kinda cool, but than you have to come up with a long list of excuses to tell the guys that want to race you.
