Default Stroker Question

I'm wanting to stroke my 01 Z to a 383 but i'm confused on the kits. What are the differences before a 350 main and a 400 main. Also i'm planning on turboing the car later on so what kind of pistons should i buy?

Sounds like you're looking at the wrong kits. Sounds like you're looking at standard SBC product and not LSx based kits. You might consider selling your shortblock and picking up a new one already done. sdparts.com ( Scoggins and Dickey ) has them for cheap! 3989.00 plus shipping.
