I'm thinking of buying the livernoise stroker kit for boost. The kit comes balanced, but do I need to get the block honed?

Right now I have a LS2.

Yeah, you're gonna need to hone the block for the new pistons and rings.

well, to do it right, you are gonna need more than that....

Cam bearings, Align Hone, Cylinder hone (and HOPE that your cylinders are OK) , New fasteners (I like ARP Main studs myself) and more...
