Default Need Some Advice

Alright I have a 2002 escalade AWD have a 6.0L with a paxton 1200 supercharger. I fried one of the pistons and scored the cylinder wall. I need some advice on what I should do. Im kinda on a tight budget so i dont want to go crazy. I want it to be reliable also. Im planning on putting the supercharger back on. Any ideas would be great.

From what I have read on this forum, forged pistons and good rod bolts are all you need for a reliable blown 6.0. And a more better tune.

If the scoring will come out with a 0.030" bore. then your ready for a 370 with your stock crank, forged pistons and rods, stock heads, arp bolts/studs, and a cam upgrade for the blowers powerband. Thats a fairly inexpensive rebuild
