Default Cost?

I'm thinking of getting a C6 and want to know what kind of money would it cost to go big cubes (over 427) and a supercharger? It's got to pass Calif smog so I figured going big cubes would get big power with a mild enough cam to pass smog. I was thinking of getting a 2008 to get the LS3 but by going bigger cubes would that matter? I need to get an automatic trans but want to be sure it will hold the power. If the 6 speed auto won't hold, should I think about a C5?

Sounds about right. Though if you're doing the engine and SC at the same time, might shave a tad off...not much though.
