Sparks brings up some good points. Especially the fact that you can go NA and meet your goals.

Depending on how custom or show you want to go, you may be able to use most if not everything that comes in the kits for say a Magnacharger. They supply the intercooler parts, pump, and reservoir needed. You don't need a special radiator. You'll just need a good one that would work with the LS engine. Then it's simply mounting the parts in a nice manner to make it all work and look good. It just may look a little generic versus using custom pieces.

Look up Bill Howell's GTO, which was called Billy Goat. He used a Magnacharger on top of a 6.0 for the car. He used most of the parts supplied from Magnacharger on the car. To me, the car came out looking great and very clean. He put many miles on that setup. I believe he used a truck system for his car. The truck systems from Magnacharger brought air in from the rear and the drive pulley was in the front.
