Woah that car is a freaking beastApparently you didn't read my post about the p8r head lol. And no that setup will not be anywhere near 200whp. Not to mention stage 3 cams with 10.5:1 compression is not a great combo. Hell the s2p2 reccomend 11.5:1 or higher compression, theres a reason for that.
The term "stage" is entirely over used, a stage tells me nothing about a cam. What are the specs of said "stage 3" cams? Brand A's stage 3 cams could have a totallly different profile then brand B's stage 3 camshaft.
heres a few vids of 200whp LS motors.

I was thinking of boring my engine to 84mm, getting a b16 head if I wanted to go N/A or b18b if I wanted F/I. Then putting on a CAI and some BC stage 2 cam shafts, and a full exhaust system + header. But I guess I need to decide on which route to take first cuz I'll need new pistons. Anyone want to convince me on which route to take?

84mm on a LS block? Good luck your cylinder wall will be so thin and you will have to sleeve it. Your better off getting a B20 block for 84mm.I was thinking of boring my engine to 84mm, getting a b16 head if I wanted to go N/A or b18b if I wanted F/I.

As long he/or she keeps it at 7 PSI or below and a good tune. I would upgrade the rod bolts and get a fuel gauge and adjustable fuel regulator.If you plan on adding a turbo kit there is no need for boring the block, changing heads, or any other motor work. Just focus on putting together a nice turbo kit.

You'd be fine on 7psi on a good tune. I'd take it up to ten but thats just me. A local tuner put 19psi through a completely stock ls motor on e85 for a long time and the car took the abuse fine. It's all in the tune and condition of the motor you plan to useI figured I wouldn't have to do any work cuz I've read on these forums that you can run 300hp without doing anything to the internals. I guess boosting over 7psi would be a bad idea on all stock internals?
