Default rebuild or stroker????

hey i am new to ls1s so sorry for the noob question.

i just picked up a 98 z28 with 150k for 1800$ it wasnt running and was also in security mode i used the site and fixxed that issue.

also replaced plugs wires fuel filter pcv valve and air filter was running horrible put a pressure gauge on rail andwas only hitting 25psi!!

replaced the pump with walboro 255lph and now got 60 psi

my question is it seems to be running halfway decent but am would like to start doing some mods or atleast have it be 100% reliable with the milage on it should i leave it or rebuild it or just go the extra mile and stroke it or jump up to adifferent block any and all answers would be appreciated thanks !!

clean it up anyway and make sure you have fixed all the issues. then take a view on it.
Total long block replacement is probably the best bet if you decide to go that way.
