Stroker Kit
I have a A&A SC Si trim and plan on going to a Ti. I'm in the process of rebuilding my ls3 and I chosen a set of pistons and rods but my question is stroker kits. The kit I'm looking at has a 4' stroke and I've always been told for forced induction to stay as stock as possible. Will I be retarding my efforts by adding a stroker crank to my build. my goal is 800rwhp. I know my stock crank can handle this hp but would the stroker make the power easier to achieve with the SC or would it be counter productive.

I would put some pistons and rods in and call it a day. Let the blower do the work.

If you change the stroke you will have to change the rods too. With a 4” stroke you will need a 6.125 rod.
I run a 4” crank in my motor but would like to put a 3.75 or stock stroke 3.622.(I’m just too cheap to do it) I feel you will have better cylinder geometry longevity with a shorter stroke.
If if I were you and I had not already bought my rods, I would go with a 3.75” stroke but that’s just me.

Rods and pistons and call it good. If you get a crank just get a forged stock stroke one.

You would change your pistons if you were to stroke it. When I built my ls2, I went back and forth about stock or stroke. For the money, I went stroked. No replacement for displacement. Plus the extra cubes will help with spool with turbos

I've got an a&a kit ls3. Ran it stock internals for years. When I rebuilt it went with 4inch crank. Instantly noticed the torque difference on the street, I was surprised how much different it felt. I run my car on road courses, crossed fingers it is holding up fine. For the record, the others on this thread have a good point... I struggled with the decision for those reasons that they point out. But, it's in there now so if it destroys itself illI let you know
