Do these turbos have the waste gate built in to them? Most production turbos do.

Assuming you have the harness, computer ect...

Quick list of parts I know you'll need:
Blow Off Valve
Boost controller
Rod bolts
Injectors
Fuel pump (Walbro 255 should be ok)
HPtuners

As far as power it well it depends on your tune really. Obviously with an intercooler and/or Meth, you will be able to turn it up some more safely. Detonation is your enemy!! I would say you could put 500-550rwhp down fairly safely on the stock shortblock with rod bolts.

I would also keep the stuck truck manifolds and turn them backwards. They flow good and they will never crack. Guys have been in the 8's on them in F-bodies.
