Default Build help

I recently put a brand new gm LS1 crate motor in my 2000 z28. I want to build it this summer to be a bad *** street car that I can also take to the strip. As of now I don't have a price range, I want the best of the best. I was thinking a fully built supercharged build. This is my first build. So all the help is better. I want this thing fast! Please help!
Thanks!
Todd.
I already plan on a mooser 9" sub frame braces, slp adjustable torque arm, panhard bar and maybe a 4l80e swap.
