383 stroker lt1
also im confused on journal size... i was looking around and pricing differant parts and it mentioned small and large journals do i need to be concerned about this? if so which should i get? do they have to match?
as far as my compression goes it is not set in stone. 10:5 i can still run around 12-14lbs of boost w/o detenation problems (or so i understand)
Better keep searching your combo. Not much of what you said makes sense. Streetable 425 hp....10.5 :1 compression....STS Turbo..... your all over the place.
Like Dwayne said, look at the heads. You'll find power.
A very good place to start would be the book by hp books:

It will give you an overall understanding of the LT1.
Then I'd start by looking at the head/cam package you go after. Once you've settled on those parts the rest (bottom end ) are easy to pick. You can cheap out a few hundred dollars with Lloyds stuff or for a few hundred more get an excellent package from AI. I have had both and I am extremely happy with my AI stuff. Top notch and believe me, there is a difference.
Good luck and happy building!

boost
well the idea was to keep the boost down around 2-6 lbs unless i was pulling it out to race... i had no plans of running 14lbs all the time on top of that it would be a while b4 i can afford the sts kit and i want to be able to drive it after the motor was built w/o feeling starved for power. i can see the logic behing running 8.5:1 or even 9:1 for a motor dependent on the boost for power. but thats not my intentions. i would like the turbo to be only a power adder... if and when i get around to buying the Remote tubo kit
yes your right i did mean 10.5:1 thank you
