Default Stroker 331-347 which is better for the buck

i have about 2,800 dollors to spend on my gt should i stroke it to a 331 or a 347, which is more of a bang for the buck, and if i stroke it should i stay brand specific and get trickflow to match the intake, or should i go with AFR heads
thanks in advance

you should go for the 347. if the right engineer builds it with the right stroker kit. you can have a stang that moves in the low 11's

^+1... i agree, why spend $1400 on a stroker kit when you can buy a dss short block for $2000 thats worthy to 700hp?

700hp....I like DSS stuff but even with a level 20 block you still basically have a stock block that will most likely with over 500 hp will slip..this WILL NOT happen on a 351
