Joking aside, while its certainly an older crowd (Im 36, this might be the only place left where I get called young) there are plenty of very progressive minds on this board in the name of making horsepower. Especially if you hang around long enough to pick out the names you should be listening to, you will generally get steered in the correct direction here.

Im part of other hot rod groups that are waaaaay worse on the old guy mis-information speak. Which people can think what they want, but I hate when someone who genuinely doesn't know gets influenced by that "3/4 race cam!" mentality.

Back to the topic, Considering pretty much everyone who can afford to adds that stroker crank in their 400, I would think the reason to go bigger than the 428 is obvious.

Exactly!! The only reason I build a 428 more than 20 years ago is because we simply had the parts laying around, and back then aftermarket stroker cranks weren't readily available like they are today.

Doing engines today I generally look at 455 and larger. Prefer cubic inches. Especially considering the costs involved are nearly the same.
