5.9 stroker build

Sounds like a good plan and it also sounds like you’ve got your head screwed on correctly. And I’ll second the post above by @68ss and add to pick your octane first, that gives you compression, and that gives you piston with your chamber size. Then camshaft to set the rpm window you’re after.
be mindful to select your cam first and then your pistons to match, considering California fuel octane and your intended max compression ratio, quench, etc.
Both points well taken. I'm ordering this stroker kit from Hughes:

TF heads measure 60cc combustion chambers, which lowers the CR to 10.3 or 10.4:1, depending on which calculator you use. That's right in the ballpark where I want to be with 91 octane and aluminum heads.
Thanks for reminding me about Dwayne Porter. He has serious street cred both here and on FBBO; I know he's a member on both. I need to start with him on my cam selection.
