Don't worry about a rebuild until it's needed. The stock LS will do just fine for a long time. Tuning is key . Mine has over 150k mi. on it and it runs like a dream.

Do a compression test on the engine. If it comes back good don't worry about rebuilding it. Replace the HG w/ an OEM one and throw some ARP headstuds in it. Stock Longblock will go farhter than most would expect.

You can't just expect to slap a turbo on and go fast. I use Uberdata and I street tune my car but I am confident in my abilities. There are many things to take into consideration. Do some more research and you will see.
