So it appears you have .080 over pistons - which I would think you could order an exact size to match from Ross, with whatever stroke you want. I would call Ross and ask for Ed in sales - he can help you out.

Having a longer stroke does provide more lower-end grunt - which sort of offsets the HP loss of a bigger cam . . . so I'd probably go with the stroker setup (I like spending your money!).

If you can, see if Ross can supply metric rings at that bore size - I like them a lot better than the old cast iron ones we all ran for years.
