I am undecided on what i want to do, So i am looking for some input.

I have to re build my motor and i am not sure if i would be better off staying with a bored .020 over 2.0, or going with a 2.3 stroker. Here are my questions.

1. With the exact same supporting mods, what kind of horse power difference is there between the 2.0 and 2.3? (not trying to bench race)

2. I know that with the 2.3 the spool time is faster but is it significant compared to a 2.0?

3. Engine life, Are the 2.3's fairly durable, this car will be driven daily 60 miles and drag raced on weekends in the street class.

My mods in my profile are current, I will be adding another HKS 272 cam replacing the 264 i have. And plan on better valve springs and a Holset hx35w.

I also plan on running red line @ 8,000 rpm

Thanks

Any ideas?
