318>390 Stroker.......Your thoughts

Yeah I watched the engine masters episode where they did exactly that. Think it was a 9.7:1 vs 11.2:1 327 chevy stroked to 331. Think it was 20 numbers across the entire graph, just like railroad tracks.

Same time, its not wanting to build a dog of a motor. So trying to match parts for a good combo is my aim.

I have that show set to DVR... one of the best that has been on IMHO. They do some quality work on the dyno and toss everything at it from exhausts, intakes, air filters, carb spacers, cam's, rockers, heads, etc.. The delta between the different setups in regard to HP and TQ numbers is very helpful in determining what to go after first and what quite seriously is not worth wasting your hard earned smack on. A lot of people get hung up on max numbers and forget many of the other shows out there focus on WOT for racing. Nice to have a show that you can use to help decide what works on a streetable engine.
