Default stroker kit and questions

alright need some advice, i tried to email these guys but it wouldnt work. http://dynoflow.substorm.com/ (click under street and rotating assemblies) i have been looking for a stroker kit and these guys seem to have some pretty good pricing. only whats the difference between the lt1 383 sportsman kit, and the lt1 383 TOP sportsman kit? i can see its got different pistons, but why would i want to go with the one over the other? do these kits look alright or should i look elsewhere? also, what would i have to get along with this kit as far as the short block is concerned? oil pump ect...?

thanks in advance
dave

Those Mahle coated pistons are supposed to be nice, and they have a great rep in Europe, but I don't know anyone here that's used them yet.

Have you also checked Speed-O-Motive? The all-forged race 383 kit I got from them was primo.
