Default Boosted 6.0L guys inside please

Hey guys. Ive got a chance to buy either an aluminum or iron 6.0 from a friend for a good deal. Im leaning towards the iron and off setting the weight with a tubular k member. Im running a P1 right now but will upgrade to a D1 when this motor goes in. What combinations are you guys running as far as parts go? I cant decide on stroking this one or not. Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Justin

if it were me i would do the 370. id go with the iron too. i like the extra insurance (even though the aluminum have put out ridiculous amounts of power) and the weight isnt going to be a big deal
