5.9 stroker build

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.
I would steer clear of Hughes. Lots of places to get stroker kits. There's a guy in here selling them. Hughes customer service is terrible. Unless you enjoy a guy treating you like you're an idiot over the phone.
