stroker experts
How many rwhp and tq would you expect this engine to make in its current state? What about with a more aggressive cam?
"ARE 404ci: This engine is an 8.5:1 6.0 ltr iron block, with a Lunati Pro Billet stroker crank, Pro Billet Rods, Ross FI Pistons, custom grind 589/612 lift Hyd Roller cam, Stage 3 heads, 1/2 studs, custom head work (additional aluminum welding for boost support), double o-ringed block, ATI SFI damper, etc, etc...it's a .010 over 4.00 bore, with a 4.00 stroke crank. We wanted to go light on teh boring for cylinder wall strength.

Re: stroker experts (kumar75150)
I would think the cam is about as aggressive as you can use I would be concerned about the compression ratio, 8.5 to 1 is for some serious forced induction, if you are going to put a blower, nos, or turbo it should be ***** to the wall, but the cr is way low to run like it is, if you are not going to FI then raise the cr to 10.8 or maybe 11 and it should be putting out in the upper 400 range in rwhp and the torque will be similar assuming a good set of headers and exhaust system and a good intake package, Wade is building my 436ci as we speak.
