Hmm.. Someone else will chime in on this but for me I wouldn't add Nitrous or a supercharger on stock internals. Not saying it cant or hasn't been done so no one get offended lol. Just saying it would be better on a motor built for that. So my vote is heads, cam, intake i guess. Or have a motor built to run with a power adder if you want that.

You can run a tuebo or maggies all day long on stock internals but you will not beable to run alot of boost, prolly only 7-10psi. Your pistons would be the first thing to give out, or your headgaskets. My opinion if you have the money get forged pistons a set of nice heads, cam along with everything that goes with it. Then super charge it or leave it. You do that without the supercharger you would be well over 400hp. Then if you still want to adda maggie

get headers/3" ypipe, your 4.10's,maybe an LS6 intake, i wouldnt grab onto nitrous or a supercharger until you get at least forged heads and a cam. But right now your best buck is spent on some bolt ons.
texas-speed has a very cheap set of pacesetter longtubes headers+ypipe, $520 after the O2 extensions im pretty sure? id probably get a tune if you dont plan on doing a WHOLE lot more

You should really read this before you even think about forced induction, https://ls1tech.com/forums/forced-in...induction.html. Be prepared to spend at least $7,000 for a blower setup, but to run it safely and have piece of mind, tack of a couple thousand more.
