Really it depends on what your goals are, what kind of turbo you are going to run, etc. You might also want to look into the new slowboy 2.1. It has just a tad more displacement and is good for over 10k rpms. If you are going to run a smaller turbo that doesnt need all the top end rpms then it would probably be best to do the stroker. If you are going to run a large turbo that just starts making boost in the area of 4500 rpms you may want to go with the destroked 2.4 which is a 2.1 or the regular 2.0. Another advantage though on doing the stroker motor even with a large turbo is that it will spool quicker with that extra displacement and it cna rev plenty high in the rpms, just no where near that 10k rpms of the 2.0 or 2.1. Personally I would go with the 2.1 if it was out when i built my motor, but its all in what you want to get out of it!
