sell those heads and get some real ones first....

But rebuilding int oa stroker will really add hp because you probly havea tired motor by now and a refresh would help. But the stroker would help torque a lot.

oh.. and i bet the motor could take a 100 shot all day long.. as long as it is still running good.

I would not reccomend a stroker until you have the drivetrain and the suspension to hold the extra power. Or you will dump all your $$$ in the engine and have to come up with more to fix the tranny and rear end.

depends on what kind of money you have and what kind of power you are looking for....sounds like you already have a mean ride with a farily nice top end i say spend the money on a couple susspension mods and spray a 100 wet shot on it as long as the engine is well maintained and tuned you will be fine.
