Default Help me with my build!

First off, I was looking to go heads and cam with nitrous, but I think I will get tired of the whole bottle thing, and only having a mid 450hp car off the bottle...
My goals are to be right at 700RWHP...
Here are my thoughts:
Keep my current block and go with forged rods and pistons with the stock crank...
Patriot 6.0L 72CC heads for a compression of about 9.0 to 1...
GT-7 cam or something similiar...
OFI kit...Now what is the max I can push that T76 turbo?..Will 12-14PSI get me to what I want, or should I step up the size of the turbo?..I live here in Cali so 91 octane is the highest...Will a alky system be suggested too?..
Any suggestions are welcome...Im a newb to the FI world...Trying to learn

Kev

a 76mm turbo will easily get you to your goal,that is a good turbo for a street car,run a cam in the 228 range.
