418 Stroker options....

Thanks for all the help so far guys but just to clarify that $8000 is just for the engine and I was thinking my best bet would be to build a 9:1 compression motor using thinner head gaskets then once I get some more money for it then I will do a thicker gasket and a blower kit. What would a 9:1 418 with mild ported/polished eddies have for power? Then I could push 8lbs of boost into it in a year or two

What kind of cam should I be using for stage 1 knowing my goals and I will re gear the rear end to match planning headers and rpm air gap as well

Thanks again guys
