Default Turbo motor?

I'm putting my deposit down with George Scott @ Turbo Tech on the T-76 kit next week! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> I'm gonna slap that baby on w/ about 5lbs of boost and see how it goes. But the ? is about a new motor. Obviously w/ a T-76 I wanna see some #'s(low 10's to be exact) so I plan on building up a better motor.
-6.0L iron block punched out a little extra
-Crank...not sure what's available
-Forged rods & low comp. pistons
-Some big heads
-Cam...not sure what grind is good for FI motors
-Want to find a fairly priced sheet metal intake

How does this sound? Suggestions? And what kind of internals? Where to get them how much?

Also the kit comes with 30lb Accel injectors and a fuel pump(not sure what fuel pump. I have LS1 edit so should I just upgrade the injectors all the way now? And what size?

Thanks,
Jason
