has anyone used 372 stroker kit with twin turbos.
cant decide if i should run a 372 or 383

 

bump!

 

372 stroker???? as far as i know its not a STROKER.... to be a STROKER you have to increase the STROKE. A 372 is a stock crank 3.622 with a .04 OVER BORE 4.04" bore....... I love my 370ci motor and it is cheaper then a forged 4" crank and i like the idea of a Iron block when running lots of boost.

That is what i am going to be doing.

 

I'm running a 370 as well

 

it is a stroker kit with the stock bore 5.7 ls1
3.905" bore x 3.900" stroke = 373.67 cid

 

bump!

 

Why would you go with a 3.9" crank when it is the same price for a 4" crank and more cubes for the same price...... 3.905" bore x 4" crank for a 383ci.......... or go with a Iron block with a 4.03" bore a .03" over bore and a 4" crank for a 408ci motor...........I would go with a 383 if you can afford it or a 408 would be better...

this motor is goning into a 1979 malibu i want the lightweight alum block
with the 3.9 stroke you get more piston compression height = longer ring life or sacrifice ring life for better rod/stroke ratio

when finished i think the car will run mid nines on nitto drag radials and pump gas

 

nines on nittos would require alot of power and fishtailing 3/4 of the way down.

 

bu, there are not a whole bunch of 3.900 crank guys running around period. Scat I believe had made a bunch of those size cranks. It's just a rare crank size period so you might not find any FI guys running it.

 

it is a goal

 

what is the final compreesion ht of the pistonwith a 4 inch stroke crank

 

Good luck I wish I could get into the FI scene but I need to stay N/A for now....student.

eagle is the only one i know with a 3.90" stroke

i talked to one of the reps/tech guys at diamond pistons a few weeks ago and he recomended using the 3.9 crank and he would make the pistons to match for no extra charge - the advatage is more boost and longer piston/ring life

 

Scat and Eagle have made 3.900 cranks. Scat started making them first about three years ago, Mallet used them extensively.

 

the mallet cars seem to make decent power too
