Default budget boosted stroker??

ive got edel. RPMheads, efi spyder intake, a MP T-70 turbo.....a stock block, and getting ready to order a rotating assembly......

here my question....(keeping in mind this is some what budget).....since the block is godd for about 500 could i get away with a Scatcast crank, forged I beams, (or should i get the H beams) and forged pistons..??

im not looking to run much boost mayb 8- 10 at the most

thanks

The stock 302 in my 91 had 324HP to the wheels, and my crank snapped at the snout. It had 124k miles on it.

my friend also snapped his stockcrank, he ran like 12.5's in 1/4mile, so about 340hp or so
