Whoa that was quick and alot of good info. I appreciate that guys 
Well I already have the 4.11s soo ama stick to those and later change things around. I also have a 3800 triple disk which I will be sending off to PI to get it tight for boost.
Btw truck is a 6 speed soo it has that short 1st gear soo my truck from digs could be useless
I think just a cast wheel wil get it done, I dont think a race cover is necessary.

Like Atomic said, something right around the 76mm compressor size should be perfect for that. Ive got a 70mm waiting to go on mine, but I sized it more for DD/towing duty than for highest performance.
I would also considering dropping down from a 4.10 to like a 3.73 or 3.42 gear. It'll help load the turbo up better.
You also really don't need to get the heads ported. With the right turbo/cam/gears/stall you should have no problem hitting 600hp without digging too far into the motor.

Yea if you were looking to get every available HP out of it than of course get them ported, but that can be a few bucks better spent somewhere else if you aren't going all out.
