Default lq4 stroke options for boost
im looking into stroking my 6.0 i was looking at doing a 4.125 with .060 over to get 427ci but a buddy of mine said it wouldnt work for what i want to do he suggested a 376 build instead. what would be optimum for boosting?

Boring the block out to 4.060" would make the cylinder walls too thin and a 4.125" stroke would make require a piston that is undesirable for boost.
