Default 416 or 427ci build

I'm looking into building a stroker combo with a magnacharger tvs2300. I'm looking for 800 fwhp. Just wondering how exotic of parts i need like crank, rods, pistons. Would the stock block handle this? Thanks any ideas would be great as this is a winter build. I wanted to do turbo's but engine builder really recommended the tvs instead. Let me know what you all think.

Exotic....nothing exotic needed. Forged pistons is all you need, stock rods and crank are fine.
416ci would be better.

more details........ What block are you going to use? If ur going LS3 most members are going to say go with the 416. 427 LS3s are said to be safer with a N/A setup. 427 LS3+blower= bad idea, although some member have gone with a LS3 427 and a blower with no problems, but my money says most of the engine builders on here will tell you to go 416 if ur using the LS3 block. If ur going with a LSX block then 427 would be fine, but why stop there if ur going with a lsx block?

I'm was looking into using the stock block. I have a 6.0l iron truck block currently but could get my hands on a aluminum l92 block also. I did look at the lsx but not sure if i want to spend the extra money on that. The 6.0l truck would be a smaller stroker because of the 4" bore. Just getting thoughts and ideas.

Well looking into pricing of blocks. I would use a new stock 6.0l truck block. If this is not a good idea for the 800 fwhp boosted goal. I'll be using a GM LSX block and be done with it. Let me know what you guys think.

You can get 800hp with a 408 and a supercharger. No problem - you are talking "pricing" of blocks it will cost more to get a 6.0 block sleeved to get 427...

Oh yea i wouldn't go 427ci with the 6.0 block. Most likely a 408 or the equivilant. It's going in a 91' GMC full size prostreet pickup. That's why the block pricing would be the key as to a 6.0 block or the lsx block. As i don't have a 6.2l to work with. haha
