Default Which should I do first?

Well, the time has come for the big mods. Should I do the 382 stroker bottom end kit first or should I go with the solid roller cam setup first? What all has to be replaced when going to a solid roller cam? Or should I just wait a while and have them both done at the same time? I can only afford to do one or the other right now. What do all think? Thanks in advance.

I would do it all at once personally.

My personal preferance if I had to do them one at a time would be stroker 1st. Cam 2nd. The reason is the stroker would give you much better all around torque, the cam would probably sacrifice some low end torque for high end hp. It's just a preferance thing though.

Well, I'm planning on doing the cam work myself. I've already done that before. I just didn't know at the time that heads/cam wouldn't be fast enough. The stroker kit is a different story. I'm not about to rip apart my motor completely on my own. I was more or less referring to effects on the car. Will a solid roller cam set up to work with a stroker motor work fine until I can afford to put in the stroker kit? If not, then I'm going to do the stroker kit first cause I know that will work fine with my current setup.
