Need more power from 351w

Why stroke to get more power? I have nothing at all against stroking assuming all the rest of parts match(heads, cam, intake etc) Before spending a bunch of money on building a stroker, try a cam, head, exaust swap. Eg, Edelbrock or AFR heads, Comp cam#35-255-5, and long tube headers. By changing all three your power will increase to about max flow of the 19lb injectors 320hp and over 400fl/lbs torque. That's what I'm building for my '92 Nite right now.

I agree with JWTAYLOR, The 393 is the most cost effective way to stroke that motot. The 302 pistons are cheap, and you dont have to purchase new rods. 10 cubes isnt much, but the cost savings is good. You end up saving almost $300-$400 depending. But hey, if you got the bucks for that...why not just put in a supercharger? It'll increase your H/P and Torque substantially. Either way, you'll have to put in bigger injectors.

I've just got a 302 in my truck('92 Nite flareside) and just by adding shorty headers and dual 2.5" into 3" flowmaster exhaust, MDS coil, wires, plugs, cap and rotor, my truck now runs 15.8 sec. quarter @ 85 mph on trail tires....that's with a 3.08 gear too.. So if you run a long tube header with good exhaust and good ignition components, you'll notice a big jump!!!!
