Joey, can't have your cake and eat it too. If you want to build the motor with boost in mind, you'll have to take a hit N/A wise until you get the turbo/SC on.
Just being realistic, I would build the motor for a nice N/A power level, with a small shot of the giggle in case you get bored. From where your at, a nice H/C/I stroker will be a nice power level. Put the compression at say 9.0-9.5:1 so that you can still run 6-9 pounds of boost down the road.....
One thing that sucks about the FRPP stuff is most of it doesn't have forged internals. Otherwise, they're a great option IMHO.
Joey, I REALLY think you can re ring/bearing that shortblock (with some minimal machine work), do a nice set of REASONABLE H/C/I and add a supercharger/NOS for your 5K budget. you'll be in the 420-480WHP range which is NOT shabby.....
