10 psi is easily done..just turbo it, an LS can easily handle 10psi daily driven. Just get a nice turbo, manifold, piping, fuel pump, injectors and so on... then just get a good tune.

how far? you pretty limited on the sleeves.. I dont know how far you wanna push the car, but you could do pistons/rods and a block guard along with the turbo and push 18ish depending on the turbo. other then that you will need to sleeve the block which is a little over a grand alone..

If i remember correctly, the motor already has forged pistons/rods.. what more do you want? The next step would be sleeving the block, but if I were you Ide build the head. LS's lose all their power in the top end, considering they only rev to what, 7k? You already have a hefty turbo, so get a nice equal-length manifold, and crower cams/valvertrain and call it a day. (for a daily driven car that is.)
EDIT: one last thing, get john (mtber) to tune it with crome pro after all is said and done.

Forged internals i.e:
Cp Pistons
Eagle rods
New oil itr oil pump
New itr water pump
Itr timing belt
Look into a catch can system such as endyn
Look into tuning...
Another good thing to look into is the health of your turbo seals...
The list goes on. I honestly don't know your setup specs so its hard to recommend specifics.

in reference to the catch can: do you feel that the endyne catch can is superior to say ebay catch cans. I'm interested in catch cans but If a catch can is a catch can they why pay 80-90 bucks? Especially when you can get a no namer on ebay for 20-30 bucks.

The endyn system has a breather filter along with nipples to place in the back of your motor.
