If I get some time I will check out the costs/estimated power. I tend to over spec the requirements because it takes alot more to run 13's at a mile high altitude than at sea-level. Most 15-seconds cars here run 13's at sea-level.

The stroker kits are around $2K, but come with rings, bearings, forged pistons, 4340 crank and rods, ARP rod bolts, and are supposed to be balanced too.

Because rebuilding your stock stroke engine will require pistons, rings, bearings, rod bolts, and balancing, The actual difference in the cost of the stroker is maybe $1,200, (I'll try running the cost numbers later) so it really is the better bang for the buck (stronger components, and 100+ extra CID displacement) if you can afford it. Not to mention the extra displacement is going to make a whole bunch more power and torque.
