You will need 2 walbro pumps for sure. Anything more then 650ish you should start looking at -8 supply line on a return system. Max that D1 out and run meth and make around 750ish lol Look up videos of the EPP cam. Its pretty lopey and will do well for what you want. 60's should take you where you want to go as well. I suggest atleast PRC extreme springs.

Defiantly dual walbro's. 60lb injectors will do fine. You can run a 8an supply line with a -6an return and be just fine. It will support 1200 horsepower. Some people use the factory supply line as the return, but it looks a hell of alot better if you just run some extra line for it. Best place I have found the braided fuel line is silicone intakes as you can get all of your supply line, return line, and all the fittings you need for under $300. Their line is also PTFE lined so you dont get that fuel smell in your garage from the vapors seeping from the usual braided fuel line. Patrick G can spec you a cam tailored specifically your engine and how you want to drive. I have also heard alot of good stuff about Bob's blower cam.
I would go with some LS7 lifters, Comp Cams hardened pushrods, Genuine GM gaskets, not those Felpro's. As far as head gaskets go, I went with Cometics, but I havnt gotten much time to drive on them with the supercharger plumbed in. There is internet talk saying that LS9 head gaskets are the way to go for blown applications.
Good luck with your build and remember to post progress of your build, I'm sure there are alot more than me that likes to follow up on people building their engines.

Does GM sell the MLS (???) gaskets, have you hears why LS9, besides already being on a "blown" car are good? what length is everyone going with on push-rods (sorry just not to knowalageable on them). Is Patrick G member on here? If not not, Where would i begin to find him?

Guess you liked the EPP cam lol. Good luck on your build!
That's incorrect. On a supercharged application with a free flowing exhaust, the cam shouldn't look too different from an NA cam as supercharged cars can take full advantage of exhaust scavenging unlike turbo applications in which case lower overlap is GENERALLY recommended as the high exhaust pressures can backup and contaminate the charge.
Well i called a local GM Dealer and turns out LS9 head gaskets are only $62 each so i might be getting them. Just one question, How many lbs of boost can safely be run on these gaskets? Im thinking of pushing 12-15 but maybe a little more like 18, Do you guys think it will hold?
