Default good rotating assembly for mild boost

Hey all this is my first post here so please bare with me. I have a 99 WS6 m6. Lts, ms4, ls6 stage 2 heads, ls6 intake ls1 lifters, 4th injectors.

I've recently been having issues with my motor. After a year of peril (ptv contact and rouge problems) I've decided to pull the motor and get the short block rebuilt. I'm putting in high performance cam bearings on top of the normal overhaul of gaskets, rings, bearing etc. I am also getting forged internals. I know right now I have a very aggressive cam but in the future I would like to go with a mild boost setup and a smaller cam. Those are my future goals but I would like to know what is a good place to start for my internals setup that will support my ms4 for cam for now, and also be good for boost in the future. The car will be getting 3.90s and a new rear in the future as well. I am looking for a car I can drive around from time to time, sacrificing some drivablility of course, but more importantly be able to perform at the track. Any input is appreciated. Thanks

Forged rods and pistons keep the stock crank.

I'm not made of money but I don't want to go cheap. I want to do things correctly. I plan on keeping this car for the rest of my life.

Is there anything I should be keeping in mind when it comes helping compression for when I have the super charger? +-ccs.

I plan on being at 6-650 rwhp all said and done. Do you definitely suggest a new crank. This current motor has 30k on it so I originally planned on reusing that crank unless we found damaged after motor was opened up
