Smile bad news good news

Well took my car to have some upgrades, Kooks LT and Y pipe, Power bond pulley 25% under-drive, comp cam 232/238/595/608 111lsa, Lunati double valve springs, hardened chromemoly push rods, 160 thermo, ported/blueprint LS6 oil pump, LS2 chain. Wanting a beast when I got it back. I already had LS6 intake, CNC ported 243 heads, p/p tb, bigger mass air, MTI lid and Random Tech cat back. Now the bad news. During install found I was down a cylinder, done compression and leak down test and we think its either a piston or ring issue so got to tear it down. Now I guess I get to do all I wanted after all, a STROKER 383. Will post numbers when all is said and done.
