streetable?

Im wondering if this combination would be good for daily use with some towing and maybe the drag track now and then

my HX35/H1C hybrid only with a wastegated 14cm housing set to 20 psi?
HT3B for the bottom turbo, both breathing through my 3" pipe to and from my 24v i/c and through a the 24v intake horn (possibly making a Y style intake horn just to help air get to cyl 6.)
studs of course and would my stock sticks fuel the compounds because if not i want to get 6X16's. Would i also need O-ring/fire rings in the head? i know it'd be best if it did have them but if i wont need them i dont want to spend the extra cash

mixed with a 4" exhaust and the rest of my mods in the sig. pump settings might change with this set up.

any opinions?

I get extra money for college and i bought the tools i need last semester and soon to be books when i go back the 19th so i have some $ to play with.

I would say its streetable and I don't think you will have enough fuel to feed the turbo's. You should be fine with just the studs but if you had the extra cash I would fire ring it. You know once you put it together you will want to run a bigger set of twins and you might as well prep for that right away so you don't have to pull the head off again later.

POD's would fuel it. You would have a hard time getting the bottom turbo singing with stock intercooled injectors.

my truck doesnt have the i/c motor. i built the truck from a 92W250 with no motor and my 1990 D250 that i use to have. so i have the non i/c engine with stock sticks and PODS dont flow much more than my stock sticks i hear

I think you really do need to do headwork (studs, fire rings) if you want to get the big turbo to where it's in it's happy zone, but I suppose it depends on the turbo used.

Yeah, the non-IC injectors will spin it OK. EGT will be nice and loooowww.

i agree. i was going to do stud for sure but depending on price for fire rings i guess. its either a HT3B or an S400. i can get either for same price

Edit; low EGT's are perfect, specially since i only stretch her legs now and then. i dont want them to rise to quickly
