Default 427 stroker and 225 heads?

Really been considering a 427 stroker bottom end. Currently the car is a HCI ls2. Prc 225s, fast102, flex fuel, 1 7/8 headers, etc.

Car lives primarily on e85 and is a weekend car so compression and a big cam don't scare me.

How much are the PRC225s going to hold me back vs say 237s?

Any idea roughly what it could do with these current heads, a large cam, and 12:1‽

I was considering a 427 build but see to many hit and misses, and don't feel the gain will be worth it.

I decided to focus more on working with my 12:1 6.0 bored 60 over, especially after seeing 500+ rwhp results on an Ls2 with stock 243s with a Pat G specd EPS 234-242, 602-605, 112 cam, some Ls2 with an LG6X3 and TF225s, and an Ls2 4th Gen Camaro running 10.29 @129 with a 236-242, 612 612, 112 and home ported 243s.

Just mentioning as i almost dumped $8100 for a TSP resleeved 427 and decided not worth it for how little I drive my truck. Just my 2 cents.

Good luck with whatever you decide.

I think the larger TSP 237 or 247 would make more power
