im having several thoughts on this... the first is that if 2600 is a huge deal... twin turbos propably isnt the right choice.... which leads me to the second argument, that twin turbos, while trick and cool, propably isnt the right choice anyway, if you want to go track, you need to be concerned about weight... very concerned, and adding pounds is like subtracting horsepower, not to mention tirewear and poor handling.....
my bet is that if you built a light weight camaro, aluminum/CF front end, power nothing!!! manual tranny (possibly a sequential race unit) lightweight driveline and a race spec LS7 (which will be closer to 750-850 FWHP depending on how much "race" you want...) you will be able to do faster laps than with a 1000 FWHP 4l80e monster... (a 4l80e weighs 254 lbs wet!!!) a TT setup propably adds well over 100 lbs...
and a kinsler IR setup on a built LS7 in an engine compartment that screams race is just as impressive! even more so IMHO!
anyway... thats just my 2 cents...
