Default Need help on swap

Hey guys/gals I've got a 2011 silverado with a 4.8 and the warranty just ran out so it's timeo to start playing big kid games with her. Ok I have no idea weather I want to go with a new 6.2 with heads and cam swap or if I should go ahead and do a stroker kit on what I have. The problem I'm having is that I want to be able to keep all the luxuries to the truck like a/c and cruise control I don't have to worry much about a budget but I would like to try and keep under 10k so if there's any advise you could give me that would be great.

a positive displacment blower and lt headers , and a cam spec for blower use . would get that 4.8 moving while keeping it clean and simple .

Ok on the positive displacement blower is there any out there that are applicable to my engine seeing as how this is the first year for active fuel management and flex fuel on a 4.8l engine because I've fund it a little difficult to find any type of boost for it as of yet
