Default Anyone use a stock shortblock l92 for boost?

I see a bunch of people using all the truck motors like 6.0 and 5.3 but haven't seen anyone use a stock short block l92. Is it because of the price? Or do people think they can't hold boost in the stock form? I have a chance to buy one and was wondering if I should do so?

Yea it's mainly because of price. And the iron block can hold a shitload of power in stock form but I personally would rather have the aluminum 6.2.

I am building an L92 right now for boost. Curious about others. Any opinions on keeping stock compression ratio? I want to do minimal work on motor but make maximum power.

We just made 760rwhp/650rwtq on a stock LS3 bottom end. They can hold boost just fine....

We also have a customer who runs Real Street 275 that uses a LS3 block and makes damn near 900rwhp on spray with a built bottom end. That engine has been going strong for nearly two seasons now and has run as quick as 5.38@132mph in the 1/8th mile.
