600rwhp With Turbo I wasn't sure where to post this so I'd like to start off by apologizing if it's in the wrong place.
So I have an LQ motor in a 1969 Chevelle. Not sure if it's a 4 or 9 but I plan on taking it apart and building it from the ground up. Can anyone point me in the right direction for what I need? I want it to be very streetable but still be very mean. Not worried about budget because you have to pay to play. What cam, heads, turbo, do I need to run to get what I'm going for?

7665 or 7875 turbo, stock heads, stock intake (or ls1 intake) and basically any cam ever ground will make 600whp on a stock bottom end. Some will work better than others but don't over complicate it and it'll make the power you're looking for.

7665 will have a hard time making 600 wheel on a cammed 6.0. Maybe a 4.8 or 5.3, but not a 6L.
if you have a stock engine you can put ls6 valve springs in it and run 10 to 12 lbs boost at it and it will make good power . we ran 11.36 in my brothers 4300# Silverado with a stock engine on 12# boost. ran it all year like that then he built a new engine and I put the old one in a truck I bought and drive it every day.

I was gonna go with the Tick Performance Stage 2 V2 turbo cam 231/231 .630/.605 115+5 LSA with the 7875, 317 heads and an LS1 intake.. is this a good combo? What about injectors and fuel pump?

If you're asking about your setup, LS6, TBSS, or even a stock truck if you have the room. Even though the stock LS1 should still work fine. I have a TBSS intake. Maybe someone else with some more experience with different intakes will chime in as I have zero experience with the car intakes.
And DAMN RedRocket, that's what I'm talking about big dog! STOMPING

You maybe could hit your power goals without even opening a single bolt on the motor, but I would recommend valvesprings and pushrods. Since you now have a lot of extra free time NOT having to upgrade the rest of the motor, a good smoothing and paint job can make the stock truck intakes look pretty good. The difference in performance between it and every other possible intake you could buy at any cost will amount to less than 1 psi of boost at the power level you are aiming for. Most of the options will actually lose low end torque with no HP gain up top.

I have twins on a 5.3 gen3 making 700.
however my buddies setup is a single 78/75, 80lb dekas, springs,cam,450pump... made 550 very easy on pump gas. He had to change the AEM 3xx pump after 450 for some reason.
