Personally I will be staying with the stock displacement. For one it will only be a street car in the mid 500's rwhp so I dont think I really need it.

And 2 I want the ability to rebuild the block down the road so during build 2 of the forged block it will be stroked.

I plan on keeping my car a long time and trying to keep it a DD or close to it for basically ever so it will see alot of mileage. I am sure the motor will be rebuilt multiple times so I dont want a "one use" block.

Good Luck.

Once I pay the car off I plan to drive up to Livernois for a mini vacation for them to install a forge rotating assembly in the car with stock everything else and maybe some blower cams and springs.

That is if I get the choice of when I forge. If I dont it will just be an aluminator or Livernois shortblock built up with an iron block.

Stroking could be a good idea if you're looking to do a really ballsy NA build. But if you go FI, or already have, then there's really no point. Just push the boost up and be happy again.
