H/C or Stroker

wondering what the pros and cons of each are of each? And a comparison of which one is better and why?

Thanks,
Brian

Bored and Stroked is the ultimate. It produces more TQ EVERYWHERE in comparions to a H/C car. H/C cars are all peak HP/TQ. They just can't compete with displacement in the area under the curve area.

h/c is cheaper as well.

to take advantage of a bored /stroked LS1, you are going to need a nice cam and a nice set of heads that like to breathe

nice ride BTW

2. Are you willing to upgrade the entire drivetrain to handle the extra power?

I don't have a budget right now. That is why I am asking to see what I would need to save up for. I don't have a big money tree so I don't know no more than $8,000 - $10,000 for EVERYTHING.

I am not sure how much you are talking about. I know that my rearend is a weak link and will need to be upgraded. But I would like to avoid upgrading the ENTIRE drivetrain.

I mostly street race and I am looking for a street demon. I see very little track use with my car.
