stroker questions I am not that familiar with the bottom end of the LS1 or any engine for that matter and had a few questions as I am considering a stroker motor for my car in the next 2-3 years(maybe sooner depending on cash flow).Anyways, what is an "all stroke" motor vs. an "all bore" motor? Is there any pros/cons of getting one over the other? Is one more reliable/durable than the other? Does one make more hp/tq than the other, etc? I am also going to be using N20 on the stroker, so obviously forged internals is the way to go? Do I need a forged crank? And last but not least(this may also be personal preference), but who makes the best internals for a stroker kit?
thanks in advance.

all stroke is all stroke(up/down distance).. all bore is all bore(piston/cyl diameter)... haha... sorry... I think max on either done singularly is 390's??cid... they run about the same $$$ but.. best might be an iron block bore and stroke..

not necessarily.. on the alum. block you HAVE to sleeve it to go big bore $$$.. on iron block you can do a little more, plus its already a larger bore..
an eagle cranked stroker kit will be the best bang for the buck.. if they have them figured out, I haven't been following it..

You really have to ask yourself what you want from your car. Strokers will give you more torque and All Bore will give you more HP. Either way your car should be a lot faster than it was before. Keep in mind also that the motor is a tuned system. You will need heads and a cam that compliment the bottom end you built to realize your gains.

what kind of #'s are you expecting and who did your build?
