Best stroker combo?

It's easy enough to say "put the money into the top end"

but most any build beyond 350hp it's wise to purchase new rods.

Oops, that's 1/3 the cost of a stroker.

new rods you say? oh I guess we'll need to be balancing that!

oops, that's now become over half the cost of a stroker.

So why not just spend the extra $650 and get the stroker?

$650 in cylinder head/valvetrain components doesn't go very far but an extra 50-60 cubes is a really nice thing to have.

External balance it. Here's your rods.

To get a stroker to breath and make good power your gunna need heads. The same 360 with good heads will out power a stoker that does not breath. Stock type heads touched a bit on a stroker will make prob 430hp ish or so. The 360 with good heads will be in the 500hp+ mark for less $$.
