600-700 rwhp? All of this reading on forced induction is making me want one. I am going to buy one of the new LSX blocks next March and boost it for sure. Although I am still debating on the CI. Where is the best place to buy the bottom end for a forced induction set up? I am aiming for 600-700 rwhp. Is that streetable on these cars?

Yah I don't think so.....
Take the word first hand... Go with a different builder. If I had it to do over again I would have gotten a Wheel2Wheel shortblock in the beginning.
BOSS APPROVED!

I will be doing all of the work myself. I wanted to try the LSX block just for ***** and giggles. But I am starting to think I should just use my LS1 block and replace the bottom end on it. I have 5.3L heads milled 0.030 right now. I have some 853 heads, but one is cracked. Nothing serious and it isn't losing compression, but it is cracked. Anyway, I just need some input on the best place to get a full turbo kit where I can keep accessories. A supercharger would be fine if I could get it to that area.
P.S. What cam and heads(if mine aren't good enough).

To prop our sponsors up, here are two...
Speed INC makes a hell of a turbo kit that keeps the acc.
A procharger s/c'er kit will make the power you are looking for as well, bob@epp is always easy to get hold of here on the board if you want to purchase a Procharger.
W2W for a built proof FI block

I didn't really think the actual block itself would have a problem with less than 800 hp. I thought the LS1 blocks could handle the pressure. Obviously I will get new rods, pistons, etc. I will probably keep the stock crank.
As for heads and cam. I figure my 224/224 .581"/.581" 110 wouldn't be the best choice. Also, the 5.3L Ported heads milled 0.030 wouldn't be the best choice, either. I have a set of 853 stock heads sitting in the garage that I am about to port. I need some more practice doing that. What do you guys recommend?
BigBenz, I stated in my first and third post that I would be doing all of the work myself. Yes, I am a grown *** man. ;-p
