stroker kits will last just as long,they run at lower rpm ranges compared to a stock engine or destroked engine.but then u throw cams in the mix and it changes your rpms around depending on the grind of the cam,but if u want more low and mid end tq go with it if your looking to rev the shit out of it and want more h.p in your high end destroke it.it really comes down to what your are looking to do with the car that the engine is going in.
