Default To bore or not (6.0L)?

What about a no bore/stroke 6.0L? Would it be worth the extra poundage for the hp gain? Also what heads should be used with a larger displacement engine?

every cube counts, but if you've allready got pistons and a clean bore 6L just hone it w/ a bore tool, and install the new stuff. i did mine before there were STD. bore pistons avialable, so i had to go .030 over. shucks..

You'll get mixed opinions on this. I say yes, its worth the extra cubes unless you auto-x, then I'd stay with the lighter 5.7. Its about 105 lbs difference.
