Default ls3 Whats next?

Alright guys my c6 ls3 heads/cam/intake/lts/cai/exhaust sae'n a 498 to the wheels....Just getting opinions on which road to start looking down. My heads are TEA (i believe stage l92's) milled to the max with vr stage3 cam so im assuming compression is too high to just slap a blower on there.....Heres what appears to be my options....
1 Put a 150 shot and run it till it breaks then either get a new shortblock(dont know what i want)
2 Put a different set of heads maybe some tfs swap to a blower cam and supercharge it
3 use oem block sent it off to a badass builder to construct a 427 stroker (still possibly supercharging it)
4simple brand new crate engine
Either way except for option 1 is going to be pretty damn expensive...
Anyone have any opinions for the most economical(not cheap by any means)
way to go??????????????????????

a stroked 427 isn't well suited for boost. People do it, and it works, but the crank is rather weak for that from what i've gathered

^^^ what he said. Id go with a 416 stroker with domed pistons to get your compression where you want it, then slap that blower on there.

Your ported LS3 heads will support more power than you are making - just need a little more displacement. Best, but not cheapest, route would be to dry sleeve your existing block and move up to 427. The larger bore 427 will only uses a 4 inch crank and allow your current heads to flow better. Sleeves will provide a very solid foundation if you decide you want boost or N2O.

If money is not an issue, an F1A or F2 on a 427 should provide you with more than enough power to completely destroy the rest of your drivetrain.

well, you don't need to, but having a good block to start with is money saved in the long run

LS9 has lower compression than an ls3. My ls3 has more compression than an ls3. High compression and boost dont mix.....If it was as simple as slapping a blower on it it would be done.............
