to stroke or not to stroke?

crank bearing failure and I want reliability and power.
I am tired of getting beat by LTR's and was considering doing a hot rods stroker crank with 12.5:1 cp piston with stock bore.

What would you guys suggest to make good power and still have reliability and beat a damn LTR?

whats all the fuss about OEM bearing vs hot rods and do you have to get the hot rod crank balanced?

we run a honda crank, they last longer, get a good cyl head that will help big time

hot rod cranks are junk, i went threw to brand new ones last year...bought a honda crank and havent had a single engine problem this year
