stroker vs. bigger cam I dyno at 375 rwhp with my current setup. Would I see more gains going to an xfi 230/236 .515/.515 (1.6 rr's) or going with an eagle 383 stoker kit? Including labor, the stroker would be double the price.

valvetrain=lt4. I've gotten alot of stoke and cam it responses. Unfortunately I don't have the money right now to do both. I'll probably get the cam first,and the stroker later on. I 'm just wondering, for comparisons basis, which would lead to more hp gains

I have that cam on a 383 already, nice numbers through a bad automatic torque converter.
396 rwhp 377 ft lbs of torque, tuned and dyno'd by Dan at FLP (Naperville, IL). Great gas milage for 396 rwhp. Since the dyno I installed a 6 speed with a spec stage 3 ceramic clutch and a fidenza aluminium flywheel, and aluminium drive shaft. I was going to go back over and redyno with a solid transmission, but don't know if I will have it done before I get 292XFI installed. From all calc's that I've done and the comparison of my current setup and a couple minor issues I'm think I will be in the 450-470 rwhp @ 6K - 6500 range with the 292, the only reason I'm going bigger.... I'm not sure yet
but I am.
I recommend the XFI series, great cams.
