However, I have a possible lead on a Typhoon for parts. The engine/turbo is complete and has only 40,000 miles... At this early stage of planning, that setup is a possibility too.

Id go procharger, f1. Don't go too small on your head unit! Better to grow into one that's too big then have one too small.
Also why are you leaning towards vortech? I've never heard of a procharger breaking up (ie. Spitting its parts into your inlet tube and destroying your motor).
V6 interesting idea, better weight balance for sure.
Plenty of room for a huge head unit

I'm only looking for 400HP... at the moment there is no Race Track here on the island of Oahu, which is populated by over 1,000,000 residents. The previous track shut down 5-years ago
If a track does get built, then I'd go for more HPs, and the first "bolt-on" would be an intercooler.

The only reason I am leaning towards a VORTECH is because I have a lead on a barely-used kit at a bargain price. The kit was on a show car.
As I mentioned above, this is a budget build.

I found video and pictures of that car while googling V6 Corvettes... and that is the only V6 C4 that I know of... so far.
I admire his efforts in perfectly fitting that Buick 3.8 in a C4, but I insist on staying with a BowTie set-up... hence the 4.3 V6.

I like the idea of v6 in the vette, I was thinking of using a buick v6 turbo actually my self. 
But i decided to go with a 350 sbc with supercharger(not my current motor).
