well I need to find out more information on what I can do, and what I can't do. I'm going to Sequoia Institute starting in a week and a half and I'll learn a lot more than I know now, but I'd like to get it and start on it as I learn. I'm not too technical on specs but I am going for a beast motor pretty much, something to get me in the 11's or even 10's with no stress...any suggestions?

you dont need an iron block to get into the 11's or 10's.

Solo sounds like you want to be an automotive technican, and i'm sure sequoia institute can do that for you for a fee. I've been doing this for a few years with an associates degree ASEs behind me, school is great but don't forget the basics. We get guys from UTI that can't even mount a tire but break out the DVOM when a customer has a burnt out bulb. So don't overlook the basics like load testing battery, charging systems, electrical thoery like understanding wiring diagrams thoes are the things you do everyday as a auto tech that students typically "blow off."
good luck

so buy it, bore it .030 and throw in a 4" crank and build up a 408 stroker

Do a lot of people know anything about boring and building a 6.0 ? are there any articles on it?

I got a 6.0L motor with a stock 5.7L crank, I'm about to throw a lot of boost at it.....

There are build ups, but most people stick with the aluminum block........
