I would stay away from a stroker, we allready have about the longest connecting rods known to man. Also since you are in Europe and if anything goes wrong you will be bumming. While a stroker might be good for a all out racer, I don't think they are reliable enough to be driven dailly.
I say just get a real good built longblock, look at Rob02's new motor, thats what you want.

Not sure of the schedule for the Pod or Stratford next year but will keep you posted for sure.
Would be well worth you checking out JDM for a built long block.
But might be a long wait too as there selling well by all accounts.
Mine should be on it's way from NJ to UK asap but will not be running untill early 06

Yes I will try for the Germany meet but you guys have moved the date.
Was looking forward to 27th as it's just before my birthday so it was a perfect excuse to go with a few mates and get a few largers in - loads infact.
Then check out the legendary busty barmaids that are more than plenty

Thanks
