Relative prices for either should give you the answer.

What heads you have now is a big part of the equation.

Re: Really good heads or stroker kit???

If the motor is new and not needing a rebuild, then spending 800ish dollars on a budget stroker kit to gain 30 cubic inch does not seem like money well spent.

Ofcourse, as previously state, it depends on you current cylinder heads, but seeing that you are asking, I am willing to bet they are not much, so spending money on well flowing heads is probably money well spent.
