stroker life span?

Well im in the bay area so traffic is something that I have to live with. Im fine with using higher quality oils and I dont need ac here in the bay. I do however, want my power steering. By choking i meant the result of an overly aggressive cam on the street. But anyways, I really do appriciate all of the amazing information shared on this thread. I guess ill have to just supprise you guys with my decision to stroke or not. Thanks everyone! and have a great thanksgiving holiday!
