Might be picking up an LQ9/4 this weekend 
So where do I start!! I'm uber geeked, I can't contain my self, so what if the project won't be done till i turn 23 (im 21 now) and the block is heavier than my LS1, the avarege person won't be able to eye ball it, unless the notice my nose sitting like an LT1!!!!
So once she's broken down and cleaned, should i...
1) Keep the heads and have them worked or jump on some LQ9's from Patriot
2) Keep my LS6 ITM/TB, or go F.A.S.T. 92/92
3) who's got the strongest 402 stroker kit/part list (4.000'' bore 4.000'' stroke) on the market? I want to be as bullet proof as possible..
and any other tips and trick would be help ful!!!!

Unless you know what your doing when it comes to building motors I would just buy a shortblock from a reputable builder before I would take the time installing a stroker kit. There are some good deals out there and more than likely will last longer. As far as heads and intake it all depends how much boost you plan on running. turbo or blower? what psi? street car?

Go callies stroker crank and rods and some diamond or wiesco pistons, big single is easier but you can do twins. 900rwhp should be reached with a 402-408 motor with 15+psi.
You can get good heads but there are alot of turbo guys keeping stock heads and intake and pushing close to your goals, so spend the money elsewhere.
