If I were you, I would just turbo the LS. Plenty of potential with that setup, and a little easier on the bank account.

Boost the LS I have seen people with Boosted LS's Tunned running 350+ Hp and anywhere from 10-16 PSI with complete stock internals. Stock GSR you are looking at something like 6-9 PSI and like 250-300 Hp.

boost the LS you already have just like everyone else said. but more importantly invest in a good fuel management system.
