To stroke or not to stroke. That is the question. Sup guys? Im currently building an lq9 motor and im trying to decide what crank to put in this thing. Im gonna run boost for sure. Hopefully a twin turbo set up. I just dont know if it is beneficial to stroke or destroke a motor with a turbo set up. Or should i just forge the hell out of the motor and leave everything the same.?

Just forge it, then you will have thicker cylinder walls and money left over (not really) for other things. There are lots of 370 ci engines running boost around here. https://ls1tech.com/forums/search.php?searchid=28440504
Seems with those blocks strokin em makes the piston hang out the bottom to much. I personally have a stroked ls3 and it aint breakin so idk why ppl bitch about stroked boosted motors other than you can rev as high n u have side load... but still.. more power down low is fun on the street
