I will Never consider a stroker. I can make as much power with a stock stroke 360. I built 2 360's in the past that made well over 435hp and were torque monsters and very streetable. I have used stoke 273 rods in both WITHOUT any balancing and using KB 190's. I've done this 2 times with zero issues, and zero vibrations. Both were shifted well over 6500rpm and both engines are still running today.
