Block/injectors... undecided Long story short... had a FBO/ECS ls3. Took a ****, short block is gone. In process of building now. Torn between doing stock crank or stroking it. Looked online and everyone's 50/50. Also torn between ID or FIC (clinic) injectors. End goal is putting down 1000whp.
Lot of usage/car/fuel type data needed for an in depth answer.
More cubic inches makes power production easier with a blower, I'd stroke it provided you aren't looking to spin it really high.
Injectors, either of those will work, don't forget about Bosch 210's as well, running a set of FIC (Connection) injectors and they've performed well for me.

i have 127# fic connection right now, but only problem I've had with those is that not a lot of shops can tune them. Shops either prefer ID or FIC Clinic.
I'm Planning on maxing out the blower, and rev the engine to 6500-7000.

That's odd about the injectors, Pat G. is tuning my car now with FIC 1000's and he's got it dialed, car is running better than it ever has.
I think some shops just want you to buy expensive injectors from them because its what THEY know.

Per the math, going from a stock 3.662" to a 4" stroker crank gains 8% displacement. In a perfect world that 8% displacement will give you 8% more power, but its probably more like 6%. I am of the opinion that there are easier, cheaper ways to gain 6-8% power than stroker cranks such as a better heads or supercharger, or simply live with the power loss and improve other things about the car with the money you saved.
