Default Stroker question 4.250 crank

My motor is done.

Its a 4.250 crank
steel block 4.030 bore

In a 98 A4 C5

Will use a set of 6.o heads that flow 310 or better

Questions:
Has anybody done one simular to this ?
What kind of ET and HP and Tourqe did you make ?
Cam Sugestions ?

Thank's for any help

NOt quite but close. I have the same year 98 A4 C5 Roadster as you and opted for a little bit more bore (4.060) and slight less stroke (4.125) for 427 beautiful cubes on a 6 liter ironblock also. See my sig. for dyno numbers which you should be close to if your using the best flowing LS6 heads that $ can buy and aggressive cam like my MTI S1 cam with specs. of 244/244, .612 lift on a 112 lsa.

Who is building your motor? Best of luck! :cheers:

Thank's for the reply. Speed Demon built the motor and my short block is done. Funny I have the same cam in it now that you have. I also have that cam in my current Speed Demon 408. I was just wondering how the extra stroke might effect HP andTQ and really ET. I'm at 11.11's now in Texas Heat and am hoping for a reliable consitant 10sec. daily driver.

Thank's Bill :cool:

so you are The One with the 4.25 crank hmmm :D
should be a stump puller. Odd combo, but should be great on the street.

I would go witha solid roller IMO.

Do you think you can update us on how it runs after say 500-1000 miles. I am curious to see if it has any oil consumption issues with that combo.
thanks :cheers:

Thank's for the reply: Yea it's for a daily driver who likes the drag strip.

Do you know anyone with this combo ?

Should I be woried about how long it will last and oil consumption?

I still have to build the ultimate Heads for this beast.

Have to sell old parts to do so.

I'm so happy with my current 408 its hard to spend more money

Thank's Bill
