Okay, so my friend and I have decided to take on the project of making a 500hp(at the crank) 420A. I know it's going to be difficult and what not, but that's why we're doing it.
I just got a bare block and was about to start ordering some bottom end parts from Howell when I noticed that they offer a 2.2 stroker crank and all the other parts necissary to make a stroker engine. The difference in price between the regular crank from the dealer and the one from Howell is $300. The stroker crank is forged whereas the stock one is not. It seems like a stroker would make more power with less pressure, meaning I could get more hp out of pump gas. Am I right in my thinking? I have to replace the entire bottom end anyway. But then again would it hurt the engines rev capabilities. after all thats why bike engines can rev so high, they have short strokes. Any input would be appreciated.
I love you all.
