Well I will itemize your questions... Remember that many things are merely preference...
1. If you're going turbo 8.5:1 would be about right... BUT if you're going supercharger you need to go around 9:1
2. The stock crank can be reused but you're going to want to go forged aftermarket rods and pistons for reliability... The most common are compstar or eagle rods.
3. The "best" intake has been the LS6 or a carb style with a intake elbow. Don't waist your money on any other. The LS6 has been over 900-1000rwhp and into the 8's...

i was under the asumption that the weind was a better intake for some reason.but if the ls6 is beter then that is were i'll go.i dont want to have to go through the whole learning experience when it comes to parts.i'll learn from yaws trials and tribulations.
what is the most horsepower the stock fuel system will support.
also how hard would it be to get this car into the 650rwhp area with a single 76 or 88 ,twin 50's,twin 62's

what is the best system for these cars. single or twin turbo. i know it comes down to prefrence. i know that in most cases the twin system works best on smaller displacement engines.
