LS Stroker kits
If I want to make some power with a stroked 6.0l and a little help from a turbo, who would be the best company to get the components from? Callies? K1? Scat? I am thinking something in the low 400 ci range. What is the max power/boost level for an iron 6.0l block?

Re: LS Stroker kits
I normally will buy those parts from Scoggin Dickey.
I would look into a short block from them, I was looking at stroker kits and for the kit price I can nearly buy the short block....

Re: LS Stroker kits
For you question on the Block, they have been known to handle over 1000rwhp. Heck, the stock crank has been above that mark on a ton of cars.
Let me ask you this, why do you want to go with a long stroke AND a turbo? How big of a turbo do you want to use?

Re: LS Stroker kits
What would you suggest? Is it a bad idea to stroke and turbo it? I am trying to find a good source to read up on what needs to be done to a motor to handle boost. I know a strong bottom end and lower compression than a n/a application.

Re: LS Stroker kits
If your gonna put boost to it, spend the $1000 you'd be spending on a crank and put it in to something else instead. Perhaps instead of buying a iron 6.0 go Alum LS3 block (6.2). I have seen Alum LS1's handle 1200+ rwhp. Just make sure there is a motor plate and mid plate.

Re: LS Stroker kits
If you're set on running a turbo...you would probably want to go with a big bore/short stroke short block...with a low (under 9.5:1) compression.
