which Blocks are you guys using
Ok guys Im looking at stroker kits 347 or 402 I thought about a 427 but from what Im hearing is that one is really not worth the cost what I need to know is what blocks you guys are using and yes this engine will be blown thanks

A 347 wouldn't be a stroker, you would just use a stock LS1 block for that setup. A 402 would generally be an LS2 block, unless you want cheaper and iron, in which case it would be the iron truck 6.0 block. A 427 would be either an LS3 or LS7 block. I don't like the LS3 427 for boost, and the LS7 isn't an option if you do want to be cost effective.

Also dont forget the 416ci LS3 stroker...

LS2 402 making 541 rwhp 505 rwtq. 200 mph isn't a question, the only question is do you have the ***** to push it ? Been there done that more then a few times. What a rush. If you want a top notch 402 talk to Ron at Vengeance Racing. He'll set you up. They get there motors built by ProLine. Top notch shorts. I wish I would've went with a proline short. Got mine build elsewhere and needless to say it wasn't done the way I wanted it. Not saying it was built well, just that the compression wasn't what I was looking for. Felt like we left some power on the table due to the builders piston choice. Like I said, go with Ron at Vengeance Racing if you want it done right. On a side note, Vengeance redid the top end to get my numbers, before vengeance my numbers were 494/484
