a stroker kit would be a worthless investment on your car. the route to go with the dohc's is boost.

If you want to stay NA and make better than stock power a stroke kit is the way to go.

if you want to stay NA and make power, a dohc is not the right motor to have.

Strong combination also. Big $$$ combo though, if you're not in the position for a rebuild.
If a rebuild is in order and you plan on going that route check out VTEngines and Mod Perf. Both are very solid engine builders and combo consulates.
More NA thoughts
Majority of Mod Perf NA 305 Big Bores deliver 360+ rwhp with a good tune. These are 96-98 Cobras used both on road courses and street driving and are all capable of 8k rpms.
