Default Major need of answers!

I am about to invest in a major project. I am trying to decide the better combo. I hear the Iron block 408 ls2 is one hell of a package if you build it right. I want to build a 800 to 900 rwhp with 18 pounds of boost either super charger or turbo. But I am at odds with the bore and stroke. I like the ls7 because of the bore and stroke it offers. I was looking at a 433 ls7 stroker kit and found it to be amazing just naturally aspirated. But I want the best bang for my buck. Is it possible to hit 900 rwhp with the ls2 supercharged? Or is it better to go turbo? What about the ls7? What kind of numbers can I expect from it? If thats the case, what is the best transmission to put in if I drive it on the road for car shows? Please help am a bit inexperienced at using the right parts. I deas please.

There is no iron LS2. That would be the LQ4/LQ9 iron 408 you are refering to.

With that kind of power I would definately go:

1. With an aftermarket aluminum block

2. With an iron LQ4/LQ9 block
