Look up the gearing in that GTO transmission. It isn't the best for a turbo setup IMO. the 2.66 1st gear style '98-02 Fbody transmissions would be better or if you can afford it a new T56 Magnum which is 10x better in all ways.
A stock pre '05 engine has LS1 style rods which are good to around 550-600rwhp before they bend. With a perfect tune it will last.... but in the end the rods will bend. LS2 style rods seem to be good to around 800-900rwhp.
A stock intake and TB will meet your power goals easily. A single turbo would meet your goals easily but twins are aesthetically more pleasing... and more $.
If you don't plan to AutoX or Road race your car you probably don't really need the aluminum block. Crunching the numbers with the power you want... it may be best to sell that LS1 instead of building it up... and get an '05+ style engine.
