I'm having second thoughts about the next couple mods I'll be doing. I'm planning on getting a CHP 5.1 L stroker kit assembled and balanced with main support, oil pump gears, flat top pistons notched, 12:1 compression ratio, Fox Lake stage 2 heads with comp cams XE278 cams, fox lake p-51 intake, up my nitrous to 250, plus new k-member, a-arms, etc, etc, etc,....
For all the money I'll be dumping into it, why don't I just buy an all out race motor? What do you guys think I should do? Im not worried about streetability, i barely drive it on the street, and all i care about is racing if i cant drive it down the street i dont care.

if i'm not in high 9's low 10's after this much money i'm going to be pissed. Thats my question though, why dont i just buy a crate motor with like 500+ hp and throw a plate system on it and at the end of the day it will be pretty close money wise, but with a crate I'll need a tranny, etc.

I would say you will be in the 114 range with a 12:1 and the juice.

i would not waste my money on a storker kit for a mod motor.. they dont respond that well too it.. if this is a race only car.. i would lower the compression.. and run a whole lot of nitrous 400-500 horsepower worth on a BUILT!! i mean really built low compression 4.6l with cams custom ground for when your on the spray...

when getting a forged motor why not pay an extra couple hundred for .5L, and for 400-500 shots, you tell me where to buy a motor that will handle that that isn't over 5k assembled in a shortblock. And why not run high compression like 12:1

...with nitrous. CHP's 5.1 with flat top pistons is a 12:1 and should handle a 250 shot very well. Why buy a lower compression motor?
