If you're shelling out the $$ for a decent combination, I'd look into a stronger block.

true, but the pistons should be forged just in case you want a little shot of spray, imo, they are important on a stroker, the cast crank would be fine in a stock block.
My experience with a 400rwhp combo, just talking to guys at the track, and seeing under the hoods, a 342 stroker, afr 185's, holley intake, 30lb injectors, custom cam, longtubes.......that combo i had seen guys going low 11's on the motor, in a caged lx foxbody.
