Default 331 stroker?

ive been looking up some info on the stroker kits lately and that seems to be my best bet to gain some hp without using nitrous or other poweradders (yet). ive seen the dss racing kit but havent really seen any other choices. any recommendations and how much/ what else should be done before the stroker is purchased. the car has about 136k miles on it and its a 92 lx 5.0. i will be adding h/c/i but havent decided which ones yet might go trick flow or something else

Eagle is my fav. There's a company called ad performance who sells rotating assemblies cheap. I actually went through them for mine. They balanced it and I got my flywheel and balancer thru them. They balance cheap too, I think I paid $150 to have the assembly balanced.

dont buy a dds motor...heard way to much bad about them, more than the good. build it yourself or have a local shop build it for you.

as much as people say its BS, 347 stroker kits put too much stress on a stock block.

I would have suggested it if he had an aftermarket block... but i'd never go bigger then 331 on a stock POS
