What are the negative/downsides of stroking?
Why a push for a professional build?

Do you have a barber, a dentist, a lawyer, a doctor?
When doing engine development on stroker winsors, the shop I worked for went through several different length strokes, four types of heads, dozens of camshafts, different rod lengths, intakes, carb setups, etc. The result was nearly 100 more HP from essentially the "same" type of motor. We learned what worked well, what just plain worked, and what doesn't work. The parts are going to cost roughly the same, the machining will be the same, the extra $1000 to have a professional make the component selection, put it all together and warantee it, that's the best money you can spend on the motor. Rebuilding a stock motor to the same configuration is something I would recomend, developing a working combination where everything is changed, I hope you have time and money for the engine development project.

stroker dyno results
I'm running a 418 ci. w/ AFR 225 heads and 10.5 to 1.
dynoed 606 hp @ 6200 and 572 ft.lb. @5100
I run this motor on pump gas only and no pings.
amatuer engine builders don't find those results, that is the result of a continued development program.
