Default turbo advice needed

I need some advice from you guys. Im in the planning stages of my build and i would rather plan it right the first time than have to redo things later. Im going to start an LS swap into a s2000. The car is going to start NA but will eventually go turbo once everything is up and running. I would like the cam to work decently while it is NA.

Chassis - s2000 (weight after conversion ~3000 Ibs)
Desired power level- 600whp
- max boost =15 Ibs
Car will be a weekend driver.

Engine- 4.8 or 5.3? I have both a 4.8 and a 5.3 at my disposal.
Transmission- 4l60 (until i get a 4l80)
RPM rev limit - ~7500 (Arp rod bolts will be used)
Injectors - i was thinking 60#
Fuel pump - ????
Heads - 243 heads will be used
Headgaskets - ls9 gaskets will be used.
Bolts- arp head bolts or studs?
Cam - isky triple 12 or suggestions ?
Turbo size - 70, 72, 76? Im leaning toward 76mm
Turbo Piping size - ??
Intercooler size-??
Exhast - single or dual exhast? what size pipes?

Thanks for any input.
