Default question about internals for my ls

I did a search but couldn't find what I need. I plan on going with either a sc or a turbo. I want to build up my engine before I do it. What aftermarket internals should I get? Also, where are a good place to get them? I'm getting an ACT clutch soon so I have that part of it covered. I'm just wondering about the engine part of it right now. thanks

Forged rods - I prefer eagle...cheap price, but great rods
Forged pistons - choose what compression ratio you want
Balanced/micropolished crankshaft
If you want to run lots and lots of boost, send your block out to Golden Eagle and get it resleeved.

I don't need lots of boost. It's still going to be my daily driver. I just want to make sure I put quality stuff in my car.

How much boost do you plan on running?

Normally I'm just going to be driving to work and home. Probably a lower boost like 6lbs or maybe 8lbs. I want to get stuff that will take more boost if I go to the track though.

if your engine is pretty well maintained, you can leave it stock and have no problems.

Ok suppose I wanna run anywhere from 8 to 12 psi. What would I need to do. I want to put at least 240 to the ground(but anything better wouldn't hurt my feelings). I'm thinking 10 would be enough. What kind of buildup are we talking? I have a 98 Ls

Stock internals.....you'll need fuel and ignition upgrades, and dyno tuning.
