i asked myself "why dont i know this"
but im unsure

when someone says they have a stock bottom end, what are they referring to?

Thanks

 

They are refering to the rotating assymbly. The pistons, connecting rods, and the crank are all factory.

 

and if there bottom end is not stock then it usually means its forged and can handle more compression.

 

Or higher rpms.

 

thank you...

 

oh wow... all this time I thought that meant rear end. But I guess I didn't hear it in context enough to find out I'm an idiot.

 

or more boost

 

or more stress of any kind

 

nope that is a very good question, thats what this section is for

 

yeah seriously..i cant get enough of this site!!! THANKS!

it could mean many things.

They may have raised the CR for a naturally aspirated motor, or lowered the CR with the intention of adding boost.

Or they may have kept all the stats the same but replaced the components with stronger alternatives. Or alter the stroke/bore of the engine to increase/decrease the engines capacity.

 

That would be pretty much the same as handling more compression.

 

longwood is 5 miles north of orlando

 

cool im in south florida....not many f body activities going on down here...cept tower shops which is a big car show...

take it easy man
