Default LS3, wise mods for supercharged engine, reliability wise?

Thinking serious of supercharging my LS3 2gen Camaro.

Whats wise or must do mods on 650-700whp level. My engine is in pretty hard track / drifting use, if iīll add supercharger, also will swap to E85.

ARP Conrod bolts and Main studs? Different info on these that is it neccessary to upgrade.
Btw. what are ARP part numbers for these, 10/2009 boughted LS3 crate. Main studs, were there some special when changing these?

Iīll check bottom end for piece of mind anyhow, ACL race bearings? Better than original or better options?

Itīs driven now three years on track in N/A, never any troubles but itīs seen pretty much banging on limiter.

ANd sorry, i know that lot of this info can be found on search, my english just isnīt that good so itīs sometimes easier to ask and start conversation, not much info on these here in Finland.
