Default 1989 bmw 635csi lsa conversion

Hello. I am about to start a project which involves putting an ls2 with an lsa supercharger in a 1989 bmw 635csi. As of right now, i only have a ls2 block and a lsa supercharger. i was wondering if anyone could give me tips as to what kind of heads, pistons, camshaft, and other miscellaneous parts i should use. My goal is to make around 700hp.

I would refer to the forced induction section for specific recommendations, but my thoughts are that you can easily run LS3 style heads, forged pistons and rods, a stock LS9 cam, and meet your power goals.

I always liked these cars as well. Post pictures!

Do you know anything about the 510 flamethrower kit that you could buy. Also will 60lb injectors be enough to meet my goals.
