Dang man that's going to be a lot of power better invest in that ATS hd transmission! I'm on my 3rd trans with 70k. http://www.atsdiesel.com/ats2/produc...p?p=3069408320 there is a link if your interest on down the road.

Will you be getting the ported heads as well? It doesn't look like that is included in the kit and it seems like that is where the majority of the gains are coming from along with the cams. This is so tempting, I have the lifetime powertrain warranty and I'm still thinking of going this route when mine gives up a goose egg, just cracked 100k.
Please continue to provide updates, there is very little information out there on this besides some banter and what's in jp magazine.

I am going to check this out and watch the results of your build. I just rolled 95000 and have been wondering what to do when mine gives up the ghost.

Granted, it's only the Internet, but I've read accounts that the stroker is unreliable. The author of the information states that a friend has been through three stroked motors and cost more than a V8 swap to "get it right."

it's over on wayalife. A member over there is friends with and met with a pit crew member whose had some issues with a stroker and another acquaintance was on the third. A search for stroker will pull it up. Sent from some string and a few tin cans.

I wonder if that's why there was never a follow up to the original article. If I'm reading it right that engine was comp'ed for the magazine. Hard to badmouth someone giving you free stuff. Some good info at WOL just wish it wasn't a constant penis measuring contest over there.
