like the title says what are your thoughts on a 5.0 stroker vs a 4.6?

the big reason iam weighing it is because of the cylinder side loading issue. I read that some shops only stroke there 4.6s to 298 because of the extreme piston side loading due to the longer stroke. what are you thoughts on it?

iam looking at strokers because i have decided to stick with my vortech and am hoping that a stroker will help centri low end power. again what are your thoughts?

how many of you have mod strokers? and how many miles are on it? once all this stuff starts rolling my stang will become a weekend ride that gets driven to work once in a while and i want a engine that will last. thanks.

8k miles on mine,if you figure out the numbers it actually turns out to be a 299 but that is 5.0 liter territory,there is a range,it doesnt have to be 302 to be a 5.0
