Why not FI and track the car?

Doesn't Crower make a stroker kit? Nothing says you have to get it from GTM. You'd pretty much be in uncharted territory doing a big NA build though. You might spend 15k on a built stroker motor to make stock block turbo kit power.

NA is simpler. Less heat, less moving parts, lighter weight, and realiability.

There's no guarantee a built race motor is going to be substantially more reliable than a FI setup.

That's always true in any case. But a good quality builder on E85 will just about ensure its longevity.

Here's my before and after OBX eBay LTH, no tune.

For what a good, reliable stroker setup would cost, you could be deep into the "figure out how to stuff a LS into it" territory.

Nothing at all. If you order it today, they can have it shipped to you by Christmas. Of 2024.
