Default I wanna start with a 6.0 Short Block, What do I need???

Alright, I wanna start with a 6.0 Short Block... I was wonderin what would be everything I need to build it up...

I would be buildin this for a S/C so I want low compression right... I also wanna put a LS6 Intake (Best flowing right??) Because I plan to do either the whipple or kenne bell and want to do an intercooler setup like Ryan23's...

Also if you guys could post up some average prices for all of these things that would be great... I wanna be able to figure out what kinda damage this thing's gonna cause me... Thanx.

Everything sounds about right, except I thought it'd be a little more for the tranny.
