good luck with that. in all realness, the 3400 is not a race engine. most the time the trans cant hold more than 9 psi on a single turbo safely before it goes boom, let alone 2. my suggestion, if you wanted something that is performance oriented, you should have got a different car.

you can have the tranny overhauled completley and that would help on the weakness...but im talking raybestos clutches and an upgraded valve body and new solenoids(basically everything new and better). as for the engine i wouldnt do twin turbo there isnt enough room in my opinion. a single custom one off turbo setup is sometimes what it takes to make everything work but your talking some money to do all that.

If you have nothing but time and money, anything is possible. However why would you want to do that to a 3 year old Motor? much easier to get a different car as a project.

If you haven't been doing mechanical stuff in the past, you would be better off, finding a performace shop or a reliable person to do the prepping of the engine, and maybe the install as well. To do things right is not an easy thing. Yeah there are tons of wana bees, that do this sort of work and sometimes they luck out, and then sometimes they don't. And sometimes people take things to what they think is a reputable place or person just to find out they aren't much better than the average wana bee's. Just remember all it takes is money and sometimes lots of it. If you want performance get a corvette or something. Something else to consider, if you are planning on driving this hopped up GA.
It has to pass a smog test, unless you are in a place that doens't do that. And they don't usually like special mods to the engine.
