what turbo should I try first

here is what I have got done on my truck so far, I blew the head gasket so I got a ported and polished head with valve work and o rings ,a helix 2 cam, ddp 4 sticks, back yard pump work and a hts exhaust manifold All of my parts should be here next week but I dont think the stock turbo is going to keep up any more. Any recommendations on what I should try first? Im interested in a ball bearing set up and what to go to twins someday no money now. I dont tow much with this truck but I want it so any body can drive it I have used the search but nothing looks like a slam dunk any advice would be great

Im not real familiar with the BB turbos but with all that head work I bet you could spool a ps64 like a 62. Its really your preference. A 66 might be a little laggy even with all that fuel. But it sounds like you do need the air. The stock turbo will have you at 1500f and smoking like a train in no time. Dont let it run past 38psi. those DDP4s are a lot of fuel.
Im assuming you got studs when the o-rings were done? Those are a must for twins
be real careful with that pyro until you get the air to burn the fuel.
Hohn is the resident garrett / turbonetics expert Im sure he will chime in with some advice on a garrett turbo if he sees this.
