Default LQ9 or LS3

Hello all im looking to trade in my crew cab for a single cab truck. Im looking at the v6 with the idea of installing a v8 ( LQ9, LS3 or any other engine yal think would be a good choice ) Id like to supercharge the v8 with a Magnacharger 2300 and looking around 800-900hp. It will be use for drag racing and road course racing plus drivin on the street. I plan on redoing the suspension by raising the upper control arm and building a Torque Arm setup in the rear with QA1 coilovers all away around for a 4/6 drop. The trans and rearend will be changed out to accommodate which ever engine i choice. Thanks in advance guys

Without engine and tranny. That would be a great idea.
