Default Building a badass Blazer with a 6.0 in it

First post here, and this is my first LS engine. I'm a Ford guy.....main car is an 03 Cobra...

Anyways, just picked up a 2001 S10 Blazer with a LQ9 with 243 heads for $2000. It has alot of small problems, but my goal here is to make it run 10's. It has a t56 in it, and a built 10 bolt in the back with 3.73's. Motor is bone stock, have no idea how it ended up with the 243 heads, but it has em.

My thoughts are a healthy cam and a big turbo. Since I know nothing about these LS motors, what type of boost am I looking at, and what other things do I need to do to this motor to run 10's? It weights 3600 according to my scales.

Some people may mention the LQ9s compression is not ideal for turbos but there should be ways around it. Might have more advise in the Forced Induction area
