Ls1/6 to stroke or not to stroke.. which blower? hey guys, it has been years since my last post. i sold my gto last winter. Looking to start something new. I was hoping I could get some experienced advice on a few questions and to help direct my path.
I'm pretty dead set on c5 frc/zo6 which obviously puts me in the ls1/6 block to work with. That works out well bc Im planning on reusing my tfs225s. I already had them cleaned and prepared for a second life. I would like to go forged internals and supercharger.
I'm leaning towards positive displacement blower over centrifugal blower. Also I sold my Fast102 intake with the gto and would hate purchase a new one or pay to port the stock one.
I guess my question is...is it worth it to stroke it to 383 since I'm already forging internals. If I do choose to stroke it, would that change the type of blower that would match best? In other words, would a centrifugal blower be better suited for stroker since the torque curve might drop? Or Would positive displacement blower be better for stroker since it might not rev as high as a non stroker? Does it actually make a difference at all? Would the non stroker be better for positive displacement blowers?
