How much power do you want to make? Those are some huge turbos! Also, the A/R is WAY to big for an LS1 application. The R's have a water cooled CHRA and it has to be used or the turbos will destruct over time. The oild is restricted in those turbos to .030 feed. not enough flow to keep the cool. Way overkill, those are what I run and have'nt even started to tickle them yet at the 1000 hp level. Figure out your exact intended usage before choosing turbos. You need to get the right ones for what you want to do.
