Need guidance on where to start.

Need guidance on where to start.
Looking for some pointers on what the best direction would be for my goals.
The car is a first gen camaro at full weight(Ill assume 4000ish) with 6spd
Goals are:
135+mph traps and 10sec passes on drag radials
91oct plus meth inj
Supercharged(I would like to go with a roots style blower for cleanliness of the engine bay)
It will be a long build process, but I would like to get a motor combo in it that would keep it fun to drive NA while I save for the SC'er. I think since Im restricted to 91oct, a big inch motor would be best and allow it to not lean on FI too much, as well as get the weight moving/be fun to drive. I would also like to build off a long block that I can find used/cheap/readily available etc, so I can stat mocking up things.
Initially I am thinking that a stroker starting with a 6.0L truck block might be the way to go......???

your situation sounds a lot like mine. as i am going na with plans to go fi in the future. so here is my build list:
lq4 (for the dished pistons)
tsp stage 2.5cc heads milled to 59cc
gm mls head gasket
tsp 228r
this combo will yield 11to1. and should lay down well over 400rwhp. then when it is time to go fi pull heads and cam and swap on higher cc heads (probly l92 heads) and blower cam and retune.
