383 and 396 Stroker Prerequisite
With so many companies recommending different fuel pumps, fuel injectors, Throttle Body sizes and camshafts for their stroker kits, I would like to know, from someone who had the 383 and 396 stroker kits installed to his Z28 LT1, what is the best setup of fuel system, TB size and camshaft to work with the 383 and 396 stroker for street/race driving.
Is the 52 mm BBK Throttle body good for the 383 if not good for the 396 stroker.
My 1994 355 Z28 LT1 is running TPiS ZZ-9 cam and LT1 ported heads. Stock injectors and ECU programming by Thunder Racing.

Ok let me throw this into the mix and hopefully it will be able to help.
Me, in the future, I would like to do a stroker setup with the future of addition of turbocharging or supercharging my car with a small shot to get me off the line nicely.
What would be a good list of components or a good idea of where I should start to look at building first?

) I should have specified a little more, my questions really would be regarding what types of compounds would I want the materials to be. I would assume forged since I plan on boosting, but maybe the lighter weight 5140 material would be better. Also fuel delivery, would I need to go with a whole new setup or just add a larger fuel pump, injectors, etc...And if that wasn't in response to me, oops.

Let me put it clear for fellows who share us positive responses. I am not worried about material selection. I intend to build a NA engine. I may in future spray 100 or 150 NOS. So, forged pistons will be my choice.
What I am after is fuel delivery, ECU programming and if any of my current mods, see my signature, should be upgraded. There is no shame to ask questions if someone does not know and this is why we are all here to exchange good ideas and thoughts.
I have noticed different schools in building stroker engines. Some upgrade the fuel injectors and some just reprogram the ECU and upgrade the fuel pump to force the stock injectors into supplying the extra fuel needed by the bigger stroker engine.
For each one there are pros and cons. I would like others to share their actual experience. I don't mind to hear thoughts and ideas, too.
