FIRST QUESTION: What does a Stoker Kit do for you? I know it's highly recommended if forced induction is bolted on, but what does it do for NA or/and forced induction power wise?

SECOND QUESTION: For the Kenne Bell Twin Screw 6lbs nonintercooled, is it safe for a stock bottom end? Of course the tune is the key, but if I understand right 6lbs is rated at about 350 hp/tq to the wheels. What should be added to make sure nothing breaks after the first time the gas is stomped?

1) Increases displacement: cubic inches are always good. If you opt to stroke you can build the motor with boost-friendly forged/steel components as well. For high boost, you need better reciprocating components so it all stays together.

2) AFAIK, the KB at 6-psi is designed for use on the stock modular. Use good gas and stay with a conservative tune and you'll be fine.

What kind HP/TQ numbers can I get with the stoker alone?

Theres not a whole lot of options out there for stroking the 4.6L. From what I understand, due to the deck height, etc., you really can't stroke it larger than say a 4.9/5.0L. With a 5.0L SOHC engine with decent mods, you'll see probably around 300rwhp maybe? :shrug:
