Default 370" for high boost suggestions

Im currently demodding a current build to get into an f-body. I have some ls parts that id like to use to help put together a motor. Basically im looking to build a 370 up to 20lbs. im open to any and all suggestions for this.
plans are:
6.0 iron block half filled
Crank ??
rods??
which pistons?
I have a set of regular studs laying around. Should I sell and go 1/2"
227 236 .613 .578 113+3 BTR cam i had this laying around and figured i could use it. I have some BTR springs and comp pushrods already as well.
Vic jr with an elbow
some ls9 gaskets
317's (possibly ported with a valvejob)
linkbar lifters
shaft mount rockers
i was looking at the Precision X275 88MM turbo
cam is probably on the small side. It will be a th400 and 9". Id like it to be a weekend warrior on pump gas 93 and 116 with high boost. Does this sound like im on the right track?

You dont need to fill the block and the 1/2 studs are a waste of money

That cam is going to work better on a blower,get a specific grind for your build and turbo

I don't think you'll need the shaft mount rockers. If you wanted to upgrade, maybe a trunion kit on the stock rockers.

I don't think stock pistons will perform the way you want them to at that level. I think JE (or someone) has a line of drop-in forged turbo pistons for a custom build. If you're having the block done and you're buying aftermarket pistons and rods, you might as well get a full rotating assembly and build a stroker. Just my $.02

I like your choice parts will prefer ported lsa heads better ports still good for boost, for cam will suggest contacting camhelp@guerragroup.com for $25 or 30 bucks you get specs for cam will do exactly what you want as to shift points purpose and overall parts complementing.

Hope this helps good luck and enjoy your build.
