Rebuilding after "THE BOOM"!!! What do you think? So here's what I'm thinking
stuffing it with alll the parts to make a forged 395 I think eagle makes the kit..
Using some TSP 5.3L stage 2.5 heads milled .15, mls gaskets, and reuse the ls6 intake. The question is should i get rid of the MS4 and go with something like the new Patrick G cam 224/228 .637/.639 110LSA (+0). I want something that doesn't leave me lacking on the street, as the car lives on the street. I will put up with a lot though to win. I want at least 460rwhp 400-420lbs and close to 500rwhp 425-445lbs when I get the 90/90 on the set-up, is this realistic.

Get a cam specifically designed for your engine. Do not use an off the shelf cam. I doubt anyone makes a specific off the shelf cam for a 3.905 bore and a 4.125 stroke. you're on the right path mentioning Patrick G. Contact him for a custom cam.

Launching!
I personally wouldnt want that much stroke. You are not going to gain much if any power with a 395 vs 383. That much stroke is going be hard on the rotating assembly. I am not saying people havent done it but its minimal gains for the extra wear imo.

your talking to the engine builder, hahaha. You think there would be a big difference in wear in 395 vs. 383 with forged h beam rods and a forged crank. we're only talking about .125 difference in rod length? (I'm really asking to not being a jerk, learn me)
