Thanks for all reply.
The Comp Cam is in the stroker. Just have to put the rad back on and some carb tuning.
I have done some little porting in the stock intake manifold and match the gasket.
Gonna try this setup first, wish it's gonna make some difference.

Re: Carburated Stroker, intake and Cam question
Hi! I know I'm a little late to the party but I thought I'd share my thoughts since there ain't many of us with carbed strokers!
I have the Comp 68-231-4 in my motor and I like it. I've nothing to compare it to, but it has good low end power and gets up and goes too. I ran it with the stock valve springs for well over a year with no issues - I just never revved it up past 4K or so. (Now I have the mopar springs and it revs up nice!) I've heard alot of people like this cam as well, (and the 232 also, not sure which one you have.) BTW, a cam made for fuel-injected motors isn't bad for a carbed one, it's just that you can't get as wild with FI so the cam is made within those limitations. Which for a daily driver or trail rig is perfect whether FI or carbed. Don't worry about that.
When I first built my motor, I ran a 2bbl intake from a wrangler and a Motorcraft 2100 carb. It went fine and did what I needed. Had plenty of get-up and go. I then put on an Offy dualport intake and a Quadrajet, and it made a prett good difference - probably due more to moving up to a 4bbl, but still - now it goes even better. When I mash it in 1st or 2nd (I have a 3-spd), it just takes off!
I can also idle around in the woods without a problem, so I think that cam was a good choice for me.
Best of luck with your motor!!
