Default Stroke It?

I am looking at rebuilding my '02 LS6. I have the following already.

LG G5X4 100 LSA Cam
243 Ported polished heads w/ oversized valves.
LG Long Tube Pro's 3" x pipe Catted.

I am thinking 383 or more makes good sense. 4.200 Sleeves pistons? Stroke it?

Some street use and most track (Road Race).

What do you guy's think?

Thanks,

John

Its what I plan on doing when my motor goes. Why not? Now is as good a time as any. If you are going to build it, build it right!

100 LSA? Check again. That HAS to be a typo.
And yeah, might as well stroke it to a 383. Or go bigger even. Just know that more cubes = worse gas mileage.
