250 shot, stroker or not

Guys, if you were to build a motor for a 250 shot, what stroke/bore is ideal (please no c5r ideas) Is a stroker okay, what are the pitfalls. Would iron block and cubes be best? Whats ideal?

If you want a bulletpoof street/strip killer with ultimate reliability...then the 409" Iron block 4"strokex4"bore setup....

It will handle a ton of nitrous if setup for it and will scream on motor...

I am starting with a 200 shot on my 409 (4.000 stroke 4.040 bore) when I get everything together. These strokers can make really good power on motor and spray. I am still trying to decide if I should go with Diamond or Lunati pistons since I want to someday spray a 300 shot.
Only pitfall I see about these iron blocks is the weight but the nitrous makes up for it

The theory is the BIGGER the bore the bigger the shot can be handled because the heat and pressures attributed to the introduction of the juice are contained in a larger area. So in this sense the STROKE would not make any difference. Things that ALSO so be considered are larger exhaust valves. oringed and receiver grooved blocks and heads, thermal coatings. Lower compression motors also can take more juice because their cylinder pressures are less to begin with. Also in theory the SHORTER the rod, the STRONGER the structual strength (here I suppose we get back to stroke).
