Advantages of a stroker for daily driver

None what so ever except superior Torque.



HP and Torque can equal gas mileage or lack there off. They work hand in hand.
The stroker is a loooooser on mileage and durabilty. So is a 3.73 gear behind it.

It is hard to build for both, mileage and power.

So why is a stroker a looser when it comes to durabilty?
I know of a 408 that went 80000 miles before it needed freshing.

As far as mileage goes, my 69 Dart with a W2 headed 408 and a small solid roller and Holley 950 ultra HP is not that bad on fuel as long as I keep the RPMs no higher than 2600 at a cruise.

I drove from Glendale Az to Kingman Az with 3.23 in the car running 65MPH, ok one time I passed a semi going 100MPH.
I think the trip is around 140 miles and it is all up hill and I used 12 gallons of fuel.

I run 3.73s in the car around town and at the track.
