One more question.. Do you think a aftermarket block is nessasary? If so .. Who makes one?
Ok cool.. Is there any advantage to going a bigger stroke if I can get the job done with less..

Aiming for a specific HP number is sometimes a bad thing. You can do more with less as show by 70aarcuda. The draw backs are a bigger expense to do a stroker The strokers create a lot of torque and lower rpm ceilings. But the power comes in earlier. The need for a bigger head to expolite the HP potential can cost a good bit. The Edelbrock head can in stock form run in the 11's if the rest of the car can help it, not hinder it. The cars weight, chassis strength and suspension set up alone with the gear ratio and etc.... Is more race like than street driven everyday ride.
Its nice to get an idea of what you need here, but once you get beyond simple bolt on performance (400 hp or so) you should seek out a builder and come up with a game plan.
