Is it worth the $ to build a 5.9 Magnum (or LA 360) without making it a stroker?

This is my advice, and I'm not being sarcastic. If your 360 magnum is "done" at 4200 rpm's, do NOT spend money on a stroker. Why? All my factory stock magnums I've owned pulled real good to 4800 rpm's in Durangos or pickups. If your magnum is at about 60% health, then work on learning to tune or diagnose problems.

I remember an unhealthy 340 (the fixings, cam, headers, 4bbl) in a Volare, and the guy had 4.11 gears, ya know the story. He was running 14.40's and said his problem was he needed "more gears". LOL... :D I just nodded in agreement. LOL

Question, how fast you wanna go? Lots of stock stroke 360's in the 10's
