Default lq9 rebuild- needs some tips for building for boost

OK so here's the run down, I bought a 6.0 lq4 was gonna do a forged 370 but am now gonna test the waters with stock stuff. Found a set of lq9 rods and pistons for $80. Next I have head and main studs for the block. My question is what bearings and rings should I run? The heads ill be running are LSA's from a new cts-v. Holley hi ram intake followed up with a custom cam. So pretty much need to know a good set of rings and bearings and also what is a good gap for the rings? Looking to make as close to 850 as possible on e85.
