Looking for opinions. I have some serious blow by that pushes my dipstick out at WOT. C5, mildly built over time...

So, do I rebuild the block (if it's even salvageable) or go with a stroker short block? I figure either the cost is likely going to be about the same. It's either more for a short block with less labor, or more labor and having the same power. Thing is, if I go with the short block, I'll likely end up replacing the heads and stock manifold and cat delete/X pipe with LG Super Pro long tubes. You know, while it's all taken apart anyway....

Or something else?

3 cylinders have low compression. So something has to be done. It's gonna hurt the wallet, but it's my baby...

WWYD?
