Question opinions on ls6 set up

got most of my parts together now and wanted to get your thoughts and see if this should preform well and about as expected.im looking for around 700rwhp.motor consists of a stock ls6 longblock with the ls2 rods,226/232 115lsa cam and patriot golds,im planning on buying a s475 with the 83mm turbine.car will be running a fmvb th400(converter still needs to be ordered)thru a 8.8 with either 2.73 or 3.27 gears in a 2900lbs fox.this setup sounds like it should preform pretty well?im also wondering if water/meth will be enough for the compression as well or would it be wiser to sell my 243s and buy a set of 317s?
input and opinions would be awesome

Meth is amazing, Ive run it in my Grandnational, and now on my LS setup. Try it on what you got, and change if you dont get the results your looking for.

Sounds good to me. At least you have an easily upgradable turbo when you need more.
