LQ4 crank and block qeustions

[GMC70c20]

I am about to order the parts to assemble my lq4 and I thought about installing new bearings seens how I was gonna check all the bearings anyway and put in new arp rod and main bolts. I've heard good things about the cleavite h bearings but I'm not sure those would be the ones to get. The motor is a stock lq4 short block, l92 heads, victor jr, msd ls6 controller, muthat thumpr cam, kooks 1-7/8 headers, mildon oil pump, manley timing set, roller truion conversion, 10.2:1,and a quick fuel 750 race-q carb. What kind of bearing work well with a factory bottom end? also what kind of power would I have to make before I should worry about the rotating assembly?

the stock bottom ends are good for 600hp....I'd def go with the arp bolts, and clevite bearings....sounds like you're building a decent motor there...
