Default How much boost and hp will a stock bock, forged internals LS2 handle?

Like the title states, what power and boost will the BLOCK hold up to with forged internals, stock sleeves?I am contemplating whether I should use the LS2 aluminum block or lq4 block for 402/408 stroker and high boost (20+psi) since I have both. I read somewhere that cooling is an issue with the iron block in tbss, and in bodies?

First of all, TBSS has an Aluminum block ls2.

Secondly, Go with a forged internal 370ci LQ4/9 1000wheel all day err day.

I know the tbss had an aluminum block, so do all f bodies. My? Was that people that put lq4/9 blocks in the tbss and fbodies have experienced cooling issues. I would run the iron block if there wasn't any cooling issues to deal with.
