[QUOTE="IUP99snake, post: 13364142, member: 7060"] I don't disagree with you. If I could choose one thing or another holding all else constant, I'd go with a larger bore as well. The larger bore helps un shroud the valves, an added benefit. But sometimes the circumstances don't always warrant it. If I had to choose between a Boss iron block vs. a stroker crank with my aluminum block, I'd choose to keep the aluminum block all day long. I wouldn't be willing to add 50-100 lbs to the front end just to go with a larger bore when I can add a stroker crank to achieve the same displacement without having to get an iron block. Sure, I could sleeve the factory block or go with a Boss aluminum block, but that's way out of my league. Here's an idea. It's expensive, but worth considering... The '13 GT500 aluminum 5.8 blocks are going to start coming down in price in the near future. That'll give you a lot of extra displacement without having to run an aftermarket stroker crank. [/QUOTE]
