IMO I would build a motor for a boosted application or at the very least put on some truck heads to lower the compression on the stock shortblock. Maybe I'm just to conservative about that. Heads and cam are a good route to take if you don't want to build for boost. My current setup is with a fairly mild cam and it made the numbers in my sig.

I ran a H/C setup and liked it.On the Vette I'm doing a Procharger and fully expect to hit 480-500rwhp on the stock longblock while keeping the stock drivability.The problem with forced induction is that you start to get greedy.Within time you find yourself in need of a new shortblock.I'm already planning out a new forged motor

And you know w/ LS1s unless you tweek that CR a bit, they arent going to like anything high on the boost (of course if you build a motor, than that theroy's shot to hell).
My vote's for the procharger. Only cause blower whine is coo

Here is my brief thoughts.
H/C can add some great power and will be very reliable. You need to make sure that all components work together or the best results may not be reached. the plus is you can get some of that cam lope at idle that I personally Love.
S/C will add great power also and can be relaible but you are adding additional components under the hood that may break and leave you on the side of the road. One plus for the S/C is that pulleys can easily be swapped for some extra power or a small shot of juice can be added to both applications if desired.
So my theory has been stay N/A because there is less components to break. I am actually looking at an S/C set up now, so I may go against my own theory of brakeage
.
Any route you take with the LS1 as long you do the work properly will yield great results be it N/A, S/C or just adding Juice. Good luck
