To stroke or not to stroke, that is the question

There's night and day difference between a hot 318 and a mild stroker but it really depends on how fast you want it to be. If your happy with a mid 14 second car the 318 will do fine. If you want a screamin mid to high 12 second car do the stroker. Not that a 318 can't run high 12's. It's just it'd be pretty radical compared to the performance of a very mild stroker.
