I see people mention stroker and then superstroker when talking about the same cubes. What makes it a superstroker or is it just another glorified term?

I guess you could call a superstroker a engine that is bored and stroked. But, yeah, it's a glorified term lol.

someday

i would think that an engine with a 4.00" stroke would be a "stroker", while a 4.125" stroke would be a "super-stroker"...

Then a 427 would not be a superstroker Maybe a 436 or 455 would be a mega-super stroker

i think the term super stroker has something to do with the power it puts down due to all the top end components-Cam, heads, intake....if its designed for RACING and RACING ONLY its a super stroker i would sya

if its streetable...and astounding at the track its in between...

id consider anything in the 300s still jsut a stroker however and a 400+ super stroker (even the MTI said there 455 will be a very streetable motor with 534 rwhp and 542 rwtq lol)

I've always heard it used in reference to MTI's engines, they pretty much use the term exclusively. Check it out: http://www.motorsporttech.com/fbody_engine02.asp

Since they coined it, people have started using that term to refer to pretty much anything close to or above a 427.

generally a stroker is a 383 or a 395 all stroke engine. What is refered on here as a super stroker is when you add bore. so a 402,408,422,427 some people would only consider the 422 and larger as super stroker since the bore is .200 larger than a 346.

I guess you would call the 468 in my '71 a stroker then ?

Super stroker is just a bore and stroke combo.
