Default What would need to be upgraded?

I was thinking about building my own twin turbo setup for a LS1 motor. I was curious on what would need to be upgraded or swapped to the motor so nothing will won't hurt any internal parts. I would only like to make between 600-700hp so i am not going as crazy as i could go. Any comments would be much appreciated. Thanks

Josh

Valve springs, pushrods, timing chain, turbo cam, ported oil pump, head studs, Cometic head gaskets, and connecting rod bolts for starters. Fuel system to keep up with the boost and really good tune to keep the pistons safe. A forged shortblock might be in your best interest.
