Default Stroker Kit for LT1

Any experience with the 'stroker kits" that are available for the LT1? I'm told that this along with a high flow intake and some headers will add about 80-85hp. Cost about $5 to 6k. I'm told this is the most bang for the buck.

Anyone done this?

Nitrous is the most bang for the buck! But you could do a cam swap with a good set of heads and add 80 rwhp!

One HP for every extra cube, all things equal + larger cam, is what alot of guys use. If your 350 LT1 sits at 365RWHP and you go with a 396 stroker and 7-10 more duration in the cam, you might see 411 RWHP in the 396.

If he's at 365 RWHP, he's already well ahead of a stock LT1, isn't he?
