Yeah Pat.The whole concept of hot rodding is to always want more.These Budget builds should come with a warning sticker that states this build is not to exceed a hp rating.Surely the top haft is where the power is made.But if your coming up short on money for a wiggle room to safely add on later,maybe you shouldn't be building a stroker in the first place.Maybe you save the costs of the stroker to add to a 355 build instead.This is part of the suggestion I want to pass along to the O/P.
