All other things being equal, a stroker will have the torque more biased toward the lower end of the curve than a std stroke engine. But a cam change can correct that if you want to shift the curve toward the top.

Just be aware that stroking a motor increses piston speed which means you may have to lower the redline to avoid piston meltdown.

The cam plays a big role in where you redline, so even a joe blow 350 can redline at 3k or 8k RPM

The redline and the powerband are two entirely diffent things. The redline is the maximum safe rpm for a motor. Any higher and you risk engine damage. The powerband is where the motor makes its best power. Which can be influenced many factors. But Streetiron85 is correct about the powerband.
