Gearing will have an effect on that not clutch and flywheel choice. 373 or 410 gears max.

Please don't put a God Speed Turbo kit on your car. Its an eBay kit so it will have terrible quality, fitment issues, etc. If you really want to go Turbo check out the Forced Induction Section and look at the Truck Manifold Stickies at the top of the page.

Your ls1 block might be reusable. Ive torn down two different 98 ls1 engines that had little to no cylinder wear after 106k and 141k miles. The factory rings are easy on the sleeves so if the engine was properly maintained the cylinders may still clean up. As mentioned earlier the 97-98 ls1's had a thinner sleeve so 3.903 is about as far as you can safely hone. A 4" stroke in your ls1 with a specd cam will make 400whp easy.

CBR twin kit from Modular turbo. Nothing fits better without losing anything like A/C swaybar or anything. Keep everything.

Power will be determined by turbo size. Anywhere from 500-1400 is possible.
