building 97 12v wtwins need advice

Hello all I have just became a member here on the board have been into diesels now for quite some time now I'm doing my first set of homebuilt twins and need a little advice. I have a 97 12v I'm building for my towrig a 91 crewcab chevy dually 2wd cant wait to get it going. I have the short block all done except for my pierce street strip cam will be hear in a couple of days. Pump is a 913 with 4k gov springs and 191 delivery valves has stock an #5 plates to switch between may get a #10. Head is p&p with 3angle valve job and 60lbs exhaust springs. Haisley main studs and arp head studs. Now here is where I need the advice of everyone. I am building this to do a lot of towing I have a 42' enclosed car trailer that hauls all of my toys to and from the strip. I'm looking to run around 35-40 psi and have no egt problems. I have a hx35-12cm wg for my top turbo and have what I belive to be and htb3 for the bottom. Can someone tell me if it is a htb3 here are the numbers on the tag assy 3538963
ser 1020569 could be hx60 dont know for sure it has a 22 or 23 exhaust housing and looks brand new will this work for what I'm wanting to do or do I need something else? Next do I need to have the head oring or is it going to live at this level of abuse? I plan on running timing at 15-16deg to help keep everything cool is this enough or not enough have never had probles on my dads 12v 98 at 16deg and have used it quite a few times to pull. Also what injectors do I need to fuel this beast I am looking for 350-400hp? And at what levels will the nv4500 start breaking? I know there may be a few thing that may have been left out and I'm sorry just trying to get the basic covered to get an idea of what to do next. Thanks for all of your help and advice that you can give.
