May I ask what it took to get that #?

Ps. I hate that this forum doesn't show the poster's car and mod specifications below their post.

Have you picked up the car yet? How is drivability?

Stroker builds always intrigue me because the numbers are all over the place. I'm in the process of a 402 and I'm honestly not sure what kind of power to expect.

xstang

No, haven't picked it up yet. I can't wait to drive it!

Suns_PSD

Dug around on their website and it looks like they are really a Honda shop. I didn't see any kits for the LS3.

xstang

Uh, you might be looking at the wrong site. Try Cartek.net. They have a history of producing the fastest NA cars in the country.

This is only hilarious if you know Cartek's LS reputation.

What are the cam specs?

xstang

I don't have the cam specs. I'm not sure if they give those out. You can call Julio though, I'm sure he can hook you up!

He went 11.1 with the old set up, just imagine what he will run now

Very nice build, can't wait to see/hear some track results.

Joe_G

Holy smokes that's gonna fly. Can't wait to see the track results!

Tony B4 nice to see you posting again! It's been a long time it seems.

How are some companies like ERL and others getting these really big bore engines like 454/ 468s, and the like?

When I spoke to Texas Speed they told me that they were not comfortable with the piston skirt protrusion of any stroker kit larger than 416ci?

Do some builders just take more risks, or is some other mod involved that I'm missing?

I have been shopping a solid NA build and if I go to a 416 CI I essentially have $6K (cost of short block and R&R) tied up in just a 13% increase in displacement. I'd be more on board with the whole program if I could pick up 20%+ displacement for similiar $. That would make the hp/ $ equation more palatable.

Any advice?

ERL and R.E.D. sleeved blocks use longer cylinder sleeves. This, in conjunction with piston, rod and crank combos designed for 4.100 and longer cranks are how you support the piston at bdc.

Suns_PSD

Thanks. Is R.E.D. the company in CA that sells sleeves?

Who should I speak with regarding a big C.I. engine and will it work well in a road race scenario? Or do these larger engines have limitations?

R.E.D. is the company that holds the patents along side Darton for their LS engine sleeves.

As far as who to talk to for big cube road race engines, I'd talk to Katech, I know they built someone with a C6 Z07 a big stroker motor for road racing. I wanna say it was a RHS tall deck 463ci. There's also LG Motorsports, and MTI Racing in Georgia
