Any build for more than 5psi boost is going to mean different rods & pistons.

More displacement means a new crankshaft.

You might find it simpler to just say how much money you have to spend and how much horsepower you want. You know the game. The $/hp cost just gets greater once all the low hanging fruit is picked. Just remember, there are twice as many valves and four times as many cams in the LT5.
