Default build questions

Hey guys ive been struggling for years what I want to with my build and soon I will finally have the money for it. I want to keep the ls1 but go up to a built 383 or so internals. All the bells and whistles; fast intake, tb, true duals, underdrive, electric water pump, etc. but with a set of 799 heads ported and polished that I have had for awhile. What kind of numbers can I see with a build like that? I've also thought of a supercharged 383 or so set up. Turbos are too much of a pia for me and the rear setups don't seem very practical. My goal is 600-650 whp. What are your thoughts? Thanks.

Something along the lines of a polluter stage 3. Looks like supercharger is gonna be the way to go

Yeah 600-650 who n/a from that build isn't gonna happen. You're right, forced induction is a much better idea
