Guys, i have a 1969 chevy truck c10 that has a 1970 monti carlo 350 engine and 350 auto trans. it has a cartor 650, headers, intake and 373 gear ratio. it is very fast right now.. the estimated hp in this car is about 300 hp..i'm planning to modify it to reach some where around 450 hp to be a daily driven truck.. my friends recommened to go 383 stroker and add cam shafts .. i don't know if this is the right set up or not.. i need recommendations ..

regaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaards

stroker+cam+dist+gears+headers+400 trans w\shift kit+ posi rear=fast! don't worry about hp (think torque )
