I'm to the point where I really don't give a damn about all out power. All I want is something that sounds nasty, runs pretty good and is reliable. Not saying strokers caint be all that, surely they can. A simple stock bore and stroke warmed over rebuild is where I'm at now. For me, it's financially doable, will be relaible and I can make it sound nasty. Won't ever be the fastest thing around, but I've won my share of races so that part really doesn't matter to me anymore.
