Default Going with larger cubes..how much boost?

Im going to rebuild in about 10k miles (that wont be that long in LA..lol) and I was thinking about the Lunati 383 kit. I guess I have a few questions on the matter.
First is this kit ok for FI or is there a better one...does the length of stroke of diff. kits matter on FI? Also, with the incresed displacement would a Stage 3 LS6 head or the 6.0 head be better? And finally how much boost can I run without jacking up my block since it bored? Sorry for all the questions but I about to drop alot of money and I need all of your expert advice and experience. Thanks.

LS6 heads are smaller chamber than the 6.0 heads.

6.0's are ~70cc stock so they are the way to go.

I think you can run 12-15 lbs of boost if you are careful and tune the car well.

I know this is an old Q, but is there any disadvantage to the bore mismatch using the 6.0L?

I thought you could get the Stage 3 heads with a 70-73cc chamber? Im probably wrong. So the Lunati kit is the way to go? Or is there a better one for the FI?

I don't think I would want someone to take a set of LS6 castings and open up the combustion chambers to 70cc.

I think Lunati sells a stroker kit with FI pistons, anyone know offhand?
