Default go stroker

I had a 351 ford crate engine (385hp) and recently rebuilt it with probe industries stroker kit (forged eagle crank 6.2 inch forged Manley H beam rods forged Probe pistons 4 inch stroke .030 over and balanced milled heads to 10.5 to 1. What a difference in power you wont need to rev the engine it develops power right now. God help you when you hit 4800 rpm cause you can feel/hear the power. The only disadvantage is you will l go through rear tires much quicker. You will need good heads to take advantage of the displacement. 2.02 1.60 with a 230 230 at .050 roller cam would be nice unless you go spend some serious cash and do the jessel solid roller lifter but strokers are not known for high rpm so this is kind of unnecesarry.
