i decided to make a 370. i Think that's when you bore the motor .30 correct?

i'm going to stay with stock head gaskets/243s milled with patriot gold/pistons are unknown. should i pick up some new rods? im going with ARP head studs/rod bolts/i have 12 point stainless steel header bolts.

cam is still unknown because i have yet to get the heads milled since i've changed my mind about the compression. yet, to know the compression, i need to decide what pistons i will run. any input on the pistons?

i'm thinking of running an 11:1 compression now instead of a 10:5:1 compression.

i'm still piecing the parts together and such. so it's going to be a while.
i'm more than likely going to slap a 150 shot on it too since i'll be running a FLT Level 5 65E with a Vig3200

i read on an LQ9 you bolt stock 243s on it and you'll have an 11:1 compression.
Is there a good piston(for Nitrous) that will give me the 11:1 compression i'm looking for? should i upgrade my Piston Rods too?

how much do i have to bore my 6.0 out to make a 370? is it possible to make a little bit bigger motor without stroking it out?

Help asap because i'm wanting to bore my motor and get this thing together within the next 3 months.

Did you ever get a response from the guy at WCCH? I am curious because I am thinking of building a motor very similar to this in the near future.
