For the amount of money and time why? A big single turbo will take the power level well above what stock components can handle.....yeah more boost to make the same power on stock cams over custom or matched but still
If you are going to go through all that far work it, Why not build a motor to drop in and do it once the right way?

Cams on a DOHC engine with intake and exhaust VVT don't have that much benefit compared to old engines without VVT. That's because the VVT always the engine to change the valve timing as speed and load change.

In my case, I do not have e85 available best I get is 93 pump and possibly meth injection (trying to avoid 3rd party systems) I got a turbo that works well in the upper RPM's and would benefit from a higher power band and I could get closer to maxingthe stock block on 93. That is my thought process
