silver bullet or bd twins?
i'm stuck between these two set ups. my truck hardly ever tows ,maybe once or twice a year. looking for 500+hp w/o drugs. i was gun hoe for the twins but have driven a few single trucks that have made me think twice.
my set up so far is
01 24v A/T
180 hp injectors
juice w/attitude unlocked+un taped for now
fass system
air raid intake
sun coast converter,valve body and hp rebuild kit(going in this week end)
hx35
head studs and o-rings are next on the list,just waiting on the sale of my other toy

The reason i went with BD twins is its a compleat system from air filter to down pipe. I know their not the big power twins but i want this truck to be a reliable daily driver, i wrench all day and would like to go home after work
the only other dealings i have had with twins is a older set of non wastegated twins. truck rips when it stays together but it see's more bay time then road. not what im looking for.

now on the other hand II silver bullet can handle what a set of twins can, but how is lag on this w/o drugs to spool it. for you guys with this turbo is it a daily drivable turbo? i know it's not gunna spool like twins but i dont want to build a truck with a 1000 rpm's of power.


Thanks for any info

Tim
