yeah thats what i was thinking, ill do the stoker with stage 2 cams, LT headers, o/r h pipe, borla CB, posibly bullit intake and definately a 100 shot and stall, shouldnt be too bad
i guess its easier to swap out heads then the internalls

What about a big bore block instead of a stroker. The stroke on these engines is pretty long to begin with. Results with stroker kits have been marginal at best. But the ability to drop down to a square or undersquare bore:stroke ratio seems to be the better way to go for more displacement.

If you are gonna go the built route and spray, get a good NX setup and run a 200 wet shot.

Well i think probably the heads, but stroker has more potential and if i was to go the stroker route, i would be able to easily swap out the heads down the road
