H/C or Stroker
H/C or Stroker Hey guys I got a couple of questions about what to do to my car. Its a 99 SS and I just passed 50,000 miles. Would it be a good idea to do a H/C swap out or just get a stroker kit. If it is ok to do the H/C swap out I was looking at a couple of H/C package for a couple of different vendors, and just wondering which one you guys like better. There is the Thunder racing custom CheaTR, or MTI's Stage 2E or the 2R heads, but don't know which cam to go with, or a H/C from TSP. If you guys don't mind let me know what you guys would go with. Thanks

Depends what you want to do with the car.
Mild >>> TSP 225 With PRC 5.3L stage 2.5
Med >>> TSP 232/234 with same heads
Radical >>> Magic stick with same heads and flycut.
Plenty other combos too.

h/c would be my choice. your motor is fine at 50k miles. (as long as it's been well mantained). if it's a daily driver, then go with some mild heads w/ something around a 220-225 @ .050 cam on a 112-114 lsa. if you use it mostly on weekends, then go with something much bigger! if you're on a budget go w/ patriot heads, and maybe one of their cams, if money is no object i say go w/ some AFR's, or ET performance heads on top of the stroker kit you're thinking of. haha.
