Default Pistons/Rods for LY6

This is my first time building a boosted motor so excuse anything I may overlook. I have a 2009 ly6 6.0 with the l92 heads. For the build i plan on putting it in a 2002 Regular Cab Short Bed Silverado. What I am currently looking at doing is honeing the block from 4.000 to 4.005 just to clean up the cylinder walls. Going with the Wiseco Nitrous/Boost Piston -11 CC dish part #K444X05 and the callies compstar connecting rods 6.125 with .927 pin with the ARP A2000 rod bolts and going with the factory ly6 stock crank with ARP main studs. The factory l92 have 68.5 cc combustion chambers with the -11cc dish on the pistons its should roughly put compression at 9.4/1. I plan on going with ls7 lifters & trays, hollow stem 2.165 intake valves, stainless 1.590 exhaust valves with a 4 angle valve job, good PAC springs, trunion upgrade, hardened pushrods, ls9 head gaskets, arp head studs. Planning on running the S475 .75/.83 1.10AR T4 turbo. Hopefully I am providing with enough information with what I am planning to build. My goal would be 650-700rwhp and keep it reliable. It will probably see 80% street time and 20% track time. Any suggestions on something different is very much appreciated.
