I am getting ready to order a stroker kit for my car. I am currently making 375 RWHP with a mildly ported Saleen supercharger, Chicane Ripp kit, 75mm Accufab T.B, 42lb injectors, and 90mm Lightning MAF. After noticing a ringland coming apart i have decided to build my bottom end up with a stroker kit. I am almost certain I will go with the VT kit unless anyone knows something I should know. The last time I had my car Dynoed and tuned I was told that timing was no longer helping and airflow was my next problem to attack. I guess my bottom end felt different.
My questions are as follows,
1. How far can I bore an iron 4.6 before I have to worry about the wall
thickness? I would like every little bit to unshroud the valves...
2. What compression ratio do you guys recommend? I generally run a 50/50mix of 100 octane and 91 octane for the 2nd position on my tune and am currently running 12psi though a Kenne Belle at 16psi or so is in the works when money allows.
3. Is there a particular brand of rods, crank, rings etc that you guys prefer?
4. I have yet to pull the motor out of the car, how many bolts are in my crank for the flywheel? is it 6 or 8? It's an 01 roush.
5. Last but not least, how do you guys feel about other items such as a high volume pump, main support, and hardware. Are ARP studs required for the mains as well as the rods?
I just want to make sure I have the best info so I can order the right stuff. I would like to know that my bottom end will be ready for some weekend abuse and future mods when money allows. Thanks in advance guys, I know alot of you on here seem to really know about these kits so I hope to hear from ya.
