If power is what you want than add heads,cam,intake with nitrous or supercharger. The weakest link in the power making department is your block, not your rotating assembly. For me, it makes no sense to beef up to a stroker if you are still going to use the stock block

Just my 2 cents

what parts should I plan on getting if I get the trick flow HCI? Throttle body? Adapter? injectors? I have never worked with a fuel injected car, and am unfamiliar with what all would be needed for an upgrade like this. thanks
