Default Turbo Component Setup for 347 CI

Hello,
I am new to this section, and am looking to get my LS1 347CI ready to add a large turbo to. After all is said and done, want at least a reliable 700RWHP
Do not want overkill as far as cost, so money saved is appreciated.
I have a 2001 T\A with an LS6 (of course) intake. I was told the stock intake is o.k. along with stock throttle body.

I am looking for recommendations and specs on a

Cam...Speed INC TU0? Looking to make my car idle good, not to sacrifice power

Heads

Pistons

Rods

Clutch...something that you dont need both legs to shift

Driveshaft (carbon fiber or chromoly??)

Rear End

Fuel Pump

Fuel rail upgrade (if needed)

Turbo(head unit or full kit)
Thinking Turbonetics T76 orTC78

Any help is appreciated, especially from those putting down
good numbers!!

stock ls6 intake and throttle body will take you far. if your going for budget id go with the 317 heads or if money is no issue just go for dart or trickflow. for rads id just use the eagle or scat rods with the upgraded bolts. friends got a chromoly drive shaft in his 606rwhp procharged ta and its held MANY 6000 dumps on slicks. skip the 12 bolt and go for the 9', use dual 255's and aftermarket fuel rails wouldnt hurt. as for the turbo setup. you can do a diy truck manifold setup and save you some money. and a 76mm turbo would work great on a 347. but thats just my $.02
