Stroking Questions I'm researching getting my engine stroked, how many of you guys stroked your ls1s? Would a 4" stroke be a good sized stroke? What should be known about stroking an ls1? basic dos are don'ts i guess. Also to speed up my parts list research wuold you guys recomend a parts list? heads, crank, rods, all nickel and dimers heh. thanx.
Here's a good thread to read up on about strokers.

I would swap to a ls2, lq9 or the new 6.2 block if you are going to buy a stroker crank. The added bore will make a lot more power and give you an over square bore to stroke ratio. It allows you do run bigger valves and get some more flow out of the heads. There are a lot of parts involved in doing a new motor. It is almost easier to have a sponsor just build you one and crate it to you. Sell your current motor to offset the cost.

what he said...but Id do an LS2 402 now
Just do a 383, with the better heads and cam selections nowadays you could get close to 500 rwhp. A 450 or 500 hp 383 would be no slouch.
I have had my 395 all stroke for several years now.
