One issue worth considering is that rpms are limited by rod ratio considerations on stroker sb's. Certainly, I keep mine down to 6000 max, even though the forged items in the bottom end might take more. (4.03" bore, 4" stroke, 6.2" rods). I specc'd the cam and top end accordingly, no point in having a valve train good for 7500.

Given this, ultimate flow rates may not be such an issue, since only when building a screamer might you actually need the massive flow rates.

The concept of a stroker "Cleveor" is certainly interesting, I wonder if there would be enough cubes to overcome the low rpm issues of the 4V heads?
