What do I need to undo to install SC
2000 Vette with 6spd and ported heads with 2.02 intake and 1.60 valves and milled to produce 11 to 1 compression. Mild Lunati cam (don't know which one as it was top secret back in 2000). Longtube TPIS headers, no cats, Corsa exhaust with X pipe. 3.90 gears. LS6 intake. True ram air. LS6 clutch. Opinions? BTW, I'm not racing I just want another HP increase with out buying a whole new engine, hence SC.

Assuming that you have a stock shortblock( 3.8992 bore x 3.662 stroke ), a set of 6.0L heads with 72cc chambers will drop your compression ratio to 9.68:1 which is very good. I am guessing your cam will be more hurtful than helpful. This is mainly due to the fact you are currently NA, so I guess the LSA is around 112. The cam is not the end of the world, but it will most likely bleed off boost because of the low LSA.
I think you will make OK power and keep the engine alive if you run about 6 to 7 psi of boost.
Most SC kits are around the $6K mark not including installation. With the current setup, you could get a nice safe 450 to 475 rwhp out of SC kit. Another thing to think about is a nice head and cam packge can get you around the same mark rwhp wise for the cost of SC kit installed.

If you're on "the cheap" get a set of LQ9 72cc truck heads from texas speed (that's what GB vette has on his FI 402). Then find a used 2001 Z06 cam... they're great FI cams apparently.
With these two mods you could run 8-10lbs of boost all day long... with meth injection even more.
However... for the best advice go over into the FI/Nitrous forum.
