A stroker will actually swallow up cams...ie you can go bigger and have the same idle as my car does with the small cam it has. Did you blow your bottom end or something? MOST people do heads before stroking a motor. Anyways...anything in the 218-222 range will idle nice for you and produce good numbers. Comp has a 220/224 581/581 114 that makes really good power and torque.
