To Stroke or not to Stroke

[Merritt5]

I have a fox body that I'm building that I would like to compete in the optima street car challenge with, but mostly it'll be a fun street car that i will autox.

Now, I have a stock short block lq9 and t56 sitting in my garage, along with a 4" crank and rods....just need pistons. I was originally planning on stuffing it into a drag car, but I've been heavily considering sticking in the fox.

Would a 408 stroker be too much for a fox to autox or should I just build the stock lq9?
