Default New to this LS1 build

Good afternoon all, I am new to this and was looking for some help please. I have a 2002 LS1 Camaro Z28 coming soon and i want to build it up. I have done small thing in the past before like headers, intake, exhaust, pulley but nothing this crazy. I found a kit that i like and was wondering if it would work with a turbo or pro-charger in the future if i decide to do so later. I know i will have to dig in the the bottom end first before i go that far but that will be in a later time. Thanks for all your feed back!

Here is the kit i was looking at.

* Prc stage 2.5 Ported 5.3 heads (cathedral port) with 59cc w/dual valve springs
* Hawks sinister cam 320/263 .591''/.601'' 112 LSA
* 7.400'' chromoly pushrods
* Fast 102mm LSX intake manifold (cathedral port heads)
* Fast fuel rail kit
* Nick Williams 102mm throttle body
* 100mm MAF mass air flow kit
* 42lbs/hr fuel injectors

That's not a good setup for a turbo. Maybe with low boost it will be okay, but that's about it

Thanks for the reply but why isn't it a good set up? Is there something i should change? is it the cam, heads, intake, injectors to small? Just trying to get a better understanding why and what to look for. thanks.

if you're going FI later you'll probably be better off with rectangle instead of cathedral. There's more flow potential which lets you cram more air in.

Is that the only thing wrong with that kit?
