Default Bearing choices....

I have a 5.3l Iron block that I am going to hone/bore to a 347. I was wanting to get some opinions on what to use for cam, crank, and main bearings? The motor will be fed with a 88mm turbo and will make 900+ rwhp. The motor will see 6600-6800 rpms and around 20 psi. I have a set of custom diamond pistons with total seal rings, callies rods, and a standard stock crank. The block will be align honed with arp studs in place, bored/honed with arp studs and a torque plate, and the deck surfaced. Daily driven car ocassionally raced at the track. Any opinions? TIA

clevite H series bearings only on this combo. that will be too much HP for a stock crank even a nicely machined one. and i'm no good at cam choices. i have to ask and research myself.

I guess the people that make 200-300 more rwhp on stock cranks must be crazy. Anymore suggestions? I'm hearing alot about ACL bearings.
