LOL, you know.

On a side note, did you hear we dynoed last week? Our 450" RHS - LS combo made 1350hp at the tires @ 15psi. Still needed more fuel but its close. I'd imagine it would be 1400hpish once all the fuel & timing is in it. We dynoed it on M1, once we switch to M5 it will make even more power. Needless to say I'm happy.

I saw that on tech. Good stuff! I remember you mentioning 30lbs of boost a few years ago. What boost level are you looking for on this build.

Still have to get over now that the weather is better.

Default so not 8 cu it is about 20 cu in .200

you say .200 of an inch right? well if you apply this to an ls1 crank that is 3.622 so it will increase the stroke to 3.822..if you apply this formula for an 6.0 litre ls engine:
0.7853982Xbore2Xstroke=it will yield 384ci..0.7853982X16X3.822=48.02 for each cylinder then multiply this by 8: 48.02x8=384 ci...please correct me of i am wrong..simple logical formula aplication obtained by hot rod magasine

So the 14yr old thread is revived again.

Back in 2002, cranks weren't so readily available. This whole thread is a moot point with the price of good stroker cranks these days.
