I currently have an LQ4 in my truck, but I'm thinking I will find another and do a bottom up build. At some point I would like to add an LSA supercharger to this build, but I want to make sure what is sitting under it is solid before spending those dollars.

I've been reading about components etc. Thought I would see what opinions I get here on what parts to use, tricks, tips etc.

I will stick with the 6.0 platform since I don't want to change out my harness, computer, etc. etc. I would like to hit 500hp (without the SC). Stock crank and LS3 heads seem to be the way to go. Intakes, throttle bodies, injectors, all make a difference, but the opinions on what to use vary greatly.

Appreciate the feedback.
