Yes, this will mainly for be street. I doubt I will get above 5500 rpm.

The thing is, if I buy a stroker kit it comes with pistons, rods, crank, etc. There is no trial and error with parts except for heads and cam. That is what I am wondering, I am not building an engine to race, but to drive the snot out of. Of course I want the most out of it, but not at a cost of thousands extra for some extra horses. So, then as I have read, AFR makes great heads and with over 350 ci I may want to step up to the 225 instead of 185's. Then, just figure out the cam.

This isn't rocket science, is it?
