I am sure the numbers are valid, but be real careful about the range at which this power is being created. Most the high HP applications tend to be up in the 6500 range

I went back and looked and you are correct. It was hitting 584hp at around 6500rpm. I'll never do that obviously.

First off, if you're going to go ground up, you need to decide if you're going to go with an LSA or similar screw type super charger, or staying NA long term, because that will dictate the direction of your cam selection, head work & compression ratio, intake, do you want to go stroker, do you need a forged crank or not, etc etc.

Great input and that is why I am here asking. Honestly, the supercharger is more for the wow factor when you pop the hood than me out running the truck hard enough to need the thing. In the end, I doubt I drop the 8k to go wow. I want reliability number 1, I want power/throttle response number 2, and then I want it to sound like it is something other than a Tahoe LOL. The SC would be nice and I would like to be able to add it later without starting completely over. Maybe I would be better off to re-ring the one I have and do some head work, add bigger injectors and call it a day.
I feel if I am going to build the motor I should squeeze more juice out of it if possible without breaking the bank. My current 6.0 with a Stage IV dyno'd just under 400hp with stock injectors/intake/etc. I would think I could swap heads, intake, injectors, and intake and get a better experience and a more fun drive.
