Like I said before, I’m just throwing out ideas. If I’m paying for a stroker kit anyway, why not pay for another 19 cubic inches?

I’ma small block guy and I’m gonna stay that way. I’m not sure what you mean by “true colors kinda guy” but I have been a Mopar guy for almost fifty years now.

To be a real purist, why even stroke it.
I have found going from a stock stroke to a stroker, all else being the same, only amounts to roughly 3 tenths, give or take a little bit.
With the stick, the car will actually have a chance of moving from point A to point B, compared to the tire smoldering and more clutch considerations with a stroker cranks.
12.40’s say one way, 12.70’s the other, or 11.80’s one way, 12 teens the other.
3 tenths I have found is just about where you can actually feel it in the seat of the pants… not night and day, but hey, feels a little stouter.
