Not sure I understand all 4 of the choices. Whats the difference between a 6.0 all forged and a 370 6.0 all forged? Rhetorical question really. The difference is one is .030" over bore on one. I assume since you are doing a forged bottom any of the engines will be getting a fresh bore and pistons anyway.......so that is why I'm trying to understand what you are getting at for the difference.
I voted 408. No replacement for displacement......unless you are class limited.

The 408 will make more power with less boost. That is a pretty big "pro" in my book. You're going to get the typical "con guys" who whine about longevity with a 4" arm claiming oil consumption issues and dependable longevity issue with wearing out the piston skirts. Those that whine are typically those that have tried it once and it was built by a shop that didn't do something right. Plenty of 408's out there with lots of miles making big power.
Now, if the goal hear was a fresh motor for your daily with the expectation of 100k+ miles..........yeah I may lean to the stock arm.........but I don't think this is the direction you are trying to go is it?

Thats very understanding. One of my main concerns was maxing out the D1SC. This definitely will not be a daily driver. Its a show/weekend car. I do a lot of cruising tho all around town. I try to drive it anytime I can.
So your saying the 408 may last a little longer being that its using less boost?
Thanks, I appreciate it. Bob

I have found that a stock 10.9:1 compression LS2 (w/LS9 cam) and a D1SC in our heavy pig TBSS is proving to be a great combination for a daily driver. It is wastegated at 7psi, has a FlexFuel sensor wired in (currently running E30), and propane injection (set to come on at 5psi) - it makes great (safe) power at all times - many many ways to skin a cat.

Will this mindset set me up for not being able to make good power or will i be able to make plenty power with meth as just insurance and piece of mind?

Thanks for the input!! Im planning to only run the water/meth mix only as insurance to cool it down. I don't want to have to add the meth to increase timing. Whatever i can get on 93 octane pump gas I think I will be happy.

You'll be fine, just don't get greedy. There are limits to what you can do on straight 93, and 93 plus a supplemental fuel system - but, only you are going to know what those are. Being conservative is pretty unpopular on the internet - yet it is those who cannot restrain themselves who spend the most time on the forums bench racing their broken or undrivable combinations vs. those of us who are out using them daily thanks to better judgement.
