LT1 Stroker Guys In Here!
LT1 Stroker Guys In Here! My motor is coming apart soon and I'm thinking about stroking it. My stock crank is already shotpeened and micropolished, with Scat forged H-beam rods and TRW 8.0-1 forged pistons. I could sell these parts (3,000 miles) to help offset the cost. Should I stroke it, or just freshen it up? What stroker combos have you guys found to be "satisfying"!?

well if you have oil Pressure you are not really freashing things up
So having just crawled out of a new Z06 the only thing I can say is ...buy a LS7

unless you got the money burning a hole in your pocket
plus with that low of compression you can up the boost alot... so just save for the bigger blower

My bottom end is pretty much the same as yours but I have a CC305 cam(great blower cam 220/230 .544/.544 114). The TRW piston is an awesome piston for the money. Qwik ? did you change your MAP sensor to a 2-Bar or 3-Bar?
