Default Banks Twin Turbo

So I'm looking at a new intake and the BANKS TT setup on my L98.

One of the determining factors will be the amount of work. I can do the intake, heads from the top. I can do the rods and pistons through the oil pan. I am not really in a rush to pull out the motor. Too much involved.

So here's my question..........

Stock L98 CAM with the TT setup. 1.6 or 1.7 rollers to compensate? Or is the entire project just a waste of time if I don't change the cam?

Also, what do you guys know about the BANKS system? For under $5k is it a decent system? Does it fit under the hood?

Thanks, hope these aren't stupid questions. I can slap together a small block with my eyes closed, forced air is a whole other animal.

There are two problems.

1.) does not really fit under the hood. Obviously no one has bought the system and tried it, but that's the consensus.

2.) you WILL have to relocate the accessories! If you look where the wastegates are placed, they are in the way of several accessories.


If you think that pulling the block out is too involved, then doing a twin turbo setup is definately not the setup you are looking for. Pulling the block is nothing compared to the tuning you'll have to do, let alone doing the custom install for the kit.
