Crank is shot, do I stroke it or not?

I've built more than a couple of these. I think if we were "building [strictly] for the CAR" then the extra $850 could go into other stuff, and the 360 will make damn near exactly the same power with the same given heads and camshaft. Personally I don;t think it will end at $850 by the time the engine is in the car and the driving.
This boils down to the OP making a cost vs reward decision to this: Do you want to spend $850 for the ability to say you have a stroker, and the in-car reality that it performs like a mild 360 in terms of performance and driveability? Because that's what I glean from Brian's comments.

Actually, what I meant was the 4" crank combo will outperform the 360, especially with the rear gear he has now.
If it were mine, I would go with the 4" crank, you get a lot more TQ at a very low rpm (great for tall gearing), quicker acceleration due to much lighter I beam rod, plus the crank and rods are BRAND NEW! Not to mention the piston gets a bunch lighter too so now you have a very quick revving engine that accelerates the car much better...just don't see a down side other than the extra cost which is minimal in my eyes.
As for the flywheel, I'll gladly exchange the 360 flywheel for a 318 flywheel!
