I just finished a forged 6.0L build. LQ4 which is essentially an iron block LS2. Compstar rods, Wiesco pistons with blower specific rings, and stock crank. Not much need to spend more unless you're aiming north of 800+ rwhp. This motor went in my daily driver maggie blown GMC. It occasionally goes to the strip and also actually works for a living.

Be prepared for a very loud exhaust. Long tube headers feeding 3" duals dumping into just about any aftermarket muffler set = loud. If you have cats, it might be toned down a bit. Without cats, it will get old quick. Unless you like an exhaust that never shuts up
I do have cats so hopefully it won't be too bad. I have considered adding an additional resonator if I can't stand it.

Can you be more specific on the parts list needed for the build you recommend? Can you give me a link to a website that sells these parts? I have tried several sponsor websites and I haven't had much luck.
