A twin stage set-up with 3 turbos= high pressure stage garret gt 55, low pressure stage 2 gt 55s. Good luck, you need something else too..

More details would be good, what is the purpose of this engine? I would think 3000RPM might be possible but not cheap to achieve. The stock overhead gear starts to get pretty sketchy somewhere above 2500RPM.
Back to the question, are you after a true twins set up or a compounding set up? will the engine be run for long periods at full power or short stints?
If you want to make this power for any real amount of time (and therefore keep exhaust temps down) you will need (if you go true twins) impellers cable of flowing somewhere around 2000-3000CFM each and turbine that will flow somewhere around 5000-7000CFM each.
Either way they will be monster turbos.

You also need to convert it to inline Sigma pump to get enough fuel, injectors won't get you there.

Also 2500 hp at 3000 rpm is 4376 lbft torque, at lower rpm even more, what are you going to do to keep pistons from cracking and head gasket blowing?
