Default need 400-450 to the wheels wut to do

So i have zero experience with ls motors or v8s at all. i build mostly tuners and always FI nvr NA. But my old man owns a scrap yard and a rear end totaled z28 juss came in and it starts and sounds pretty good so i wanna pull the ls and put it in a bmw or somthn small for my lil brothers 17 bday cuz he wants to try autocross and drifting and im all for keeping him from street racing =)..
i know 450 is not really need to start to learn autox but i want it to b enough that if he wants to go back to the strip he has a good platform.

i hav dam neer evrythng i need to go turbo or tt but i need to know what the stock internals can handle ect. if i have to to get new internals, heads, headwork, major stuff than id rather juss do it NA to get that reliable down low power.
if NA is a better route what cam/head/intake combos will b efficiant for
400-450whp
i got a few things laying around to a ls6 intake manifold, 42lb injectors, daul 255 FP

Very easy to do, you just need to do a search. Swapping the engine will probably be a lot harder then getting an LS1 to make 400+whp

you will need a bigger fuel pump and 42# injectors.243/799 heads with a good valve job a fast 102 intake .talk to EPS about a cam ,and valve train needs.or talk to TSP for a good priced head/valve train pkg.TSP has the gaskets and bolts you need.
