Has anyone here stroked a 305 (Vortec specifically), and what were the horsepower results? I have done the research and I understand I could swap into a 350 to make more power, and I am also considering that. However, I would be interested in doing a stroker on my 305 Vortec depending on the results. It would be slightly cheaper than swapping in a 350 crate, albeit less powerful for obvious reasons. If the stroker plus a few other mods makes enough power for me, which is somewhere in 300 hp range, I would value keeping the original engine in my truck. Seeing as the Vortec starts with 230 hp, it doesn’t seem crazy to think I could get it to 300 by stroking, installing long tube headers, and getting a tune by black bear. If you have any experience with this, please let me know, thank you.
