stroker guys in here What are the highest dyno numbers you have seen from an all stroke/stock bore LS1/LS6 motor?
Seems to me that the bore produces most of the horsepower in a a big cubic inch motor.
Also, should a car with 4.125" crank and stock bore make about the same torque as a 427? Mainly, is stroke the only determinant of torque?

Re: stroker guys in here Ya I'm worried cause I am putting out the same numbers as you with supposedly a very nice set of heads, a decent sized cam, and around 10.7 to 1 compression.

Re: stroker guys in here You need to look at your torque curve and not just peak torque. Strokers normally have 400+ ft-lbs over a wide rpm band w/o having to rev to the moon.
No. the extra cubes of the 427 should produce more TQ and HP accross the board. Midrange Torque will also be effected by head porting, cam selection, and header and exhaust size.

Re: stroker guys in here It did 464hp, 453tq with TPIS headers, Borla Stingers.
Then it did 455hp, 452tq with Cartek 1 7/8" headers and Stainless Works 3" exhaust.
BTW, this is on a 2002 Z06. Heads were brand new LS6 castings ported and flowed around 315cfm at .600.

Re: stroker guys in here Dude if I recall right, you have a baby cam in there. Seems to me like these Lunati strokers dont make more peak horsepower than a regular heads/cam car unless you try a much bigger cam to utilize the extra cubic inches.
The cam I currently have is designed for heads/cam or cam only cars. I will report back when I try my new cam.

Re: stroker guys in here Also, how much do you think I can safely spray my Lunati motor? Remember the LS6 block has not been bored out at all.
I was thinking upto a 200 shot will be ok.

Re: stroker guys in here I'm building a similair set up so I'm curious as to how high you rev with that long of a stroke? I'm going with a 246/246 600/600 112LS cam. I'm hoping to be done by the end of the month, it's just that everything seems to be on back order.
