Default More Cubes Questions

im loooking into making a stroker motor i was thinking 383,392 or 402. which one of these would have more realability for boost, i want to run 15-20 lbs, i dont want to bore the block to much where it takes away the strenght to muchs were it wont last long. and what are some specs of cams people are running with boosted strokers? right now i have a isky tripple 12 in the box that i was going to use but im assuming that it wont be big enough. if i go with a stroker it is a must to get the heads worked on as far a p&p here is a web site a found with a couple kits Chevy Engine Kit - Chevy Stroker Kit, LS1, LS2, LS3, LS6 tell me what you guys think i need the advice haha

402 since it's the only one starting life as an iron 6.0.

Isky triple 12 cam is fine as it's been proven. I wouldn't go chasing cam dreams with big cams that sacrifice alot of driveability.
Heads aren't a must either but they can't hurt. You'll most likely notice any head work with out of boost throtting.

402 it is then, the isky tripple 12 will be big enough? i guess i figuered that sence the motor was getting bigger that the cam would too. how much boost can forged motors handle?

Personally, I'd go to something in the 230's on a 114-116 since you are going turbo. The cubes will 'eat' a lot of that duration.

With the money you'll spend on building the motor. It's worth the $25 to get a custom spec'd cam for your application.
