OK, first off my truck. I have a 1996 F-250 with a 460 motor. The motor is stock at the moment except for bypassing the AC conditioner and air intake (which is still in progress.) I do not plan on a lot of engine mods to the truck. I am going to put an aluminum rear driveshaft in after I put in a gear venders Grea splitter in the truck. I am thinking about a beafier tranny also.
I pull a 36' fifth wheel RV around from time to time and I haul a lot of weight from time to time. I also put the truck on the track every now and then.
Now for my question. What size turbo can I put on my truck without having to install bigger injectors? I know that I am going to have to make my own exhaust system to run the turbo as I have found no kits for my engine.
I am not good at algebra. Even Frederic's "monkey math formula" gets me scratching my head.
Also what would be the better set-up, a large single turbo, two small turbos, or one small and one large turbo? I know this question is more for opinions than anything.
Thanks for any advice.

Also, I know that two small turbos will give me the quick initial boost at the low end but will the boost continue through out the top end as well?

OK, I found a post by Frederic this morning and came up with possibly a pair of T3's out of an '85 to '88 T-Bird.
Any thoughts or concerns with this set-up? I plan on using an intercooler as well.
