Default Getting ready for some Twins!!!

Hey guys, been awhile since last time I've been on here...
Im FINALLY about to have my car paid off and im trying to do some research on building a reliable engine for twin turbos, my goal is 800 rwhp...
So far Ive found a 4.6L block im going to pull out of an wrecked F-150 but im trying to decide on if I should get a stroker kit for it or if I should keep the displacement stock...
Any suggestions will be GREATLY appreciated!!!

Oh and if this is a repost of anything, im sorry, just point me in the right direction...

Keeping the stock square bore would be ideal. You should be able to spin 8k+ rpm with the right valve train. Also because the engine is small displacement, twin 57's would probably be your best bet, and keep the a/r around .6-.7. and certainly not more than .96. Ball bearing is a worth while upgrade from a spool stand point

Yeah I was thinking the same thing with the displacement until I came across this article
http://www.mustang50magazine.com/tec...ved/index.html

But you do have a good point u can turn more RPMs keeping it stock displacement...

Which they used a crazy looking intake manifold (that I want to build but cant figure out the dimensions *NEED SOME HELP*)

I've read that before. A tuner by my installed an HP kit before, he said it was junk. He suggested going single instead of twins, but that's up to you. I wouldn't do a stroker kit, most people on here with one will probably tell you they wouldn't do it again. The mod motors have a pretty long stroke as it is. I would consider boring it over .020" though. It has to do with unshrouding the valves or something like that, you'd have to ask somebody with a bit more expertise in internals than me for that, but that would be the way to go over a stroker.
