Ok i've been doing some research to figure out exactly what i want to do. I'm running a 00GT motor and plan to go twin turbos over superchargers just for the daily driving ability that a turbo offers.

Anyways my question is what part should i use to get the highest RPM i can get?? Since its gonna be turbo i want to build it for revving!!

What Cams, Crank, Pistons, Heads, etc.

I've tried to find some info on this but have been unsuccessful in really finding anything out

Thanks

First if your only reason for going turbo over supercharger is drivability, then your reasoning is flawed. You do not sacrifice drivability with with any of the supercharger kits out there. Most you cannot even tell they are on there until you get into boost. So the extra amount you are going to spend for a turbo will not be justified by differences in drivability. If you are looking to make more than 600hp then turbo's may be the way to go.

As for building the motor, cobra crank, eagle rods, mahle pistons, vt cams, are all strong.

I have to agree, a blower will be a much less of a hassle and will be perfectly fine driveability wise. There are plenty of people on these boards running a blower and drive it on the street regularly with no problems and some who drive their car everyday with a supercharger. Turbo's are kickass though. Generally more power, a crazy torque curve, boost easily adjusted...alot of benefits just more expensive and complex to install.

As for the engine, I think what was stated above should work just fine.
