Default 2005 LQ4 build

I came along a deal and have an lQ4 6.0 out of a 2005 truck. I'd like to use the motor for a retro in a 67 camaro Rs/Ss. Right now for financial reasons I think ill stick to N/A but would like to get more than stock power(of course) , later on I would like to use some form of forced air induction whether it be supercharged or turbo, I'm leaning toward turbo... Any suggestions?? Thanks

First off the truck intake is a highly underated peice, although cosmetically
challenged, if it fits under your hood...run it. Headers and a decent tune will
wake it up big time and IIWY I'd just put a small 224/224 .588 lift @ 114ls
cam in there with new hardened pushrods and some Lunati or Brian Tooley
dual valvesprings. An LS2 timing chain and a new high pressure oil pump 2.
If funds allow, perhaps remove the heads, do a fresh valvejob, surface, and
install new LS9 GM cometic head gaskets and ARP headstuds in preparation
for the turbo boost to follow. A simple Borg Warner S480 can make about
650 rwhp on E85 and moderate 12-14 lbs. of boost.

Couldn't have said it better ^^^ but don't forget about the rocker upgrade.
