Hey guys i am interested in buying a stroker kit for my 03 GT. i want a kit that will give me a good gain in hp but also forged too so i can supercharge it at a high boost and use a bit of nitrous.
i'm in the same boat as 1990, i've heard nothing but good things about them. and if i had the money that 324 stroker would be sitting between the fenders in my car
By the way I've been hearing not to run a 324 if you plan to use a lot of boost b/c the cylinder walls thickness is questionable. Any comments on that ?

The lowdown on the big bore in boosted applications.................
The big bore (whether it be stroked also or not) CAN handle good amounts of boost. I've successfully run 18psi on a big bore stroker with no issues what so ever. That being said, I also know a guy that attempted to run 30psi, and the block split on its first dyno pull (it was making 700rwhp at 5000rpm as it split ). Basically, VT does not recommend running more than 18 psi on a big bore AS OF YET because we have not personally tested it about that level. If the car is a street driven car, 16-18 psi is tons of power for a street car. The big bore really helps out the heads for flow potential, thus generating more top end power. If you combined the big bore w/the stroker, you'll have tons of midrange torque, with a chit load of high rpm power. It don't get any better than that!
