Default new to turbo...again!

Hey everyone, new to this so please bear with me! Built a friends ls1 t/a with a sts turbo kit, hooked eversince. Working on building my own car now and have some questions.

Car is a 63' nova ss. Transplanting a 402 iron block, eagle crank/rods, ross 8.5:1 pistons, 317 heads, typhoon intake, backed by a built 4l60e into it. Need a turbo!

turbo size? street car, want 15lbs boost maybe more as much power as possible!
Wastegate and bov sizing?
Any good links on eliminating maf sensor for sd?
Cam size?
will yellow zo6 springs be enough?
Is there a Quiet inline fuel pump capable of this?
Was thinking 60lb inj. that ok?
Tb size? will stock do just fine?
Decent tuner around WI?

Intercooler is 32x12x3 all hotside piping will be done in stainless (friend is a stainless fabricator) centered around truck manifolds. Also have meth inj if needed
I know this is a lot to ask just trying to get everything bought before we tear the car apart. Thanks for the patience and all help is appreciated!

Call Speed Inc. who has built many turbo kits. Get your info from one person, otherwise your going to have a mismatched kit that doesn't work well! I'm sure there are other good vendors but, I have used them and they are local.
