Default I need some engine advice please help

So im looking into to purchasing a nice shortblock over the winter. I been doing alot of research. I'm very interested in the modular boss block for the extra displacement. Im aware of the the main cap problems with this block and rgr has some nice custom main caps available through JPC. Im not very family with all the technicalities with engine internals. Im interested with this block and maybe a destroker crank making 288 ci or stock stroke crank. I definitle am shooting for the new tfs 4.6 heads. I also want to run a either a twin screw or a single turbo setup. Should i be aiming for the 44cc heads or the 38cc with a dished piston. im not planning on running a ton of boost maybe 10-14psi. I like the idea of a high reving destroker engine. Havent seen it done on any 2valve in my area. But would the stock stroke be better? Would a turbo or twin screw work better with the destroked engine??? Would the 4.6 victor jr intake work well with the turbo or should i save for a sheetmetal intake like logan motorsports. Any help or advice you can provide is greatly appreciated. Thanks

the mod engine is already small as is, so i would say u shouldnt de stroke it, the victor jr will great, one of the guys here has one with the factory style upper plenum as his set up. a twin screw will also be a good choice, its just on your taste if you want a turbo or screw, both will work great though.
