Depends. If you want to get 550hp out of a 289, then it would be so radical that it would be tough to drive and probably not that much fun. But 550 hp out of big block stroker is pretty mellow.

The theoretical big block stroker only makes 550hp when you want it to. Only when you mash the go pedal. Other than that, it makes a lot less power. There's that whole control thing again.
