4.8 setup with 4L60 and 4.10 gears

My truck has 4.10 gears with a Yukon locker. I have a 4.8 and 4l60 to power it with. Looking for opinions on how to add power to the 4.8.
My first thought was since it has 4.10s I could add a good cam and tune to make great top end power to 7000 and let the 4.10s help on the low end.
The other option would be leave the engine stock and put a turbo on it and tune it to 425hp or so by limiting the boost and tuning. I’m aware that turbos and 4.10s aren’t particularly suited for each other and you don’t get max potential out of the turbo with such numerically high gearing, but it would be fun. I am also aware that 4l60s don’t like big HP. I think it will be fine with under 450 and I could always swap to an 80 if it goes out.

School me. Give me options. I want to keep the 4.10s. They are in good shape and are what came in the truck.
