4"callies crank
eagle H-beam rods

i am looking for upper 700's on pump gas (wouldn't hurt for more...lol)
this will be a street truck so i would like it to pull really good from 2000-2500 to 6000-6500rpm

^^^ very complete answer there, and if you want better response try to go for the ball bearing version of any of those turbochargers, if they are available.
but non of those turbochargers are cheap.
if you want a big cheap turbo, get one of a diesel truck that had at least a 14 liter motor
good luck
