Turbo piston selection
I've fabbed the headers and turbos (60-1 hi-fis) bought the cam and the heads. I have an aluminum block and an iron block. If the alum would take the horsepower, will the stackup of components allow a 6.200 rod enough room for ring spacing. Stock stroke. If not would destroking and more pin height allow the alum block to produce more power with less stress. My tenative goal is 950 to 1050 hp in the 6500 rpm range.

It makes no sense to ask a question without at least identifying the motor, etc. When you think this through and can repost with all the info, try again.
