This stock-block 5.0 made good naturally aspirated power, but it was begging for boost, in came the Paxton Street Stroker. (http://www.musclemustangfastfords.com/tech/mmfp_1208_617hp_paxton_street_stroker/index.html)Why are stroker Ford combinations so popular? The answers are many, but mainly, when it comes to building a performance powerplant, bigger is always better. That is to say it is always easier to produce a given amount of power with increased displacement. Where a 500hp normally aspirated 302 might be a tad on the grumpy side for daily street driving, a 500hp 408 would be much more manageable. Thus, the extra cubes make it not only easier to achieve the desired power output, but it can do so while simultaneously improving drivability.
