Deadnuts reliable and cheap but make good power? Get a Gen3 6.0. Stroke it to 402 cubic inches with a 4 inch crank. Put stock or ported L92/LS3 heads on it with a cam that will produce broad power but not be radical. You should be upper 400s to 500 at the wheels with a great and very fun to drive torque band. Hell, save money and stay with Gen 3 heads. It's not like ported LS6 heads are crappy or don't make power. I'm fairly certain this is the route I'll take.

Right but what kinda power with 5-6psi? At that level of boost is it really worth it? Not worried about the cam, if it's not good I don't mind swapping out cams but is it good for it? Probably not but not sure.
Also what would the best way to simply change the compression on my motor? BMW guys use different headgaskets, granted the headgasket is a weak spot in those motors but they use them to lower the compression on a stock motor. HG, pistons? And change cam?
