Default C5 Owner seriously considering SC

as my sig says, got a '99 C5 Vert with a good air intake and through exhaust system which is awesome.. was considering moving to LS3 C6 but massive stretch and still not overly sold on the idea as I love the look of the C5..
I'm in the UK so these cars are rare, and so are people to work on them too..

So I'm considering probably a pro charger set up... I'm not hugely handy with the tools so It will be done by a pro... I have been reading threads and my eys and brain are bleeding

but what I'm after really is some advice from those of you that have done it really..
I'm looking to get the charger on, but then a bit stuck really about what else is need if anything... it won't be tracked or on the strip.. purely street fun.. so not ragged everywhere either..
do you think anything else needs strengthening, upgrading ( brakes etc will be a later project) its more engine & box I'm thinking of..
Cars an auto some photo's in my intro thread if anyones interested.

thanks in advance
