what do you consider 'serious'? Intake, exhuast & 4.56's on a good suspension setup wont require a rebuild.

OK. so what are you waiting for? Your stock shortblock should handle the 9psi 2.1kit from KB for a while. When it finally kicks the bucket, have it rebuilt with forged components.

If you want to do it all right and do it all at once, then yes. If you just want to throw a blower on it until the engine goes then that's fine too, but I'd rather spend all the money at once and get it all done at once so I won't have to worry about anything later on...
