Stroker Performance Review
Thanks a lot. I appreciate the feedback. I don't care if its overly streetable. After all I ride in it and don't drive it with my eyesight. It needs to do some cruising but I don't mind it being at the extreme end.
I guess what disaponted me most is the MPH. Coming up with every bit of the engine combo I put time into and that MPH tells me that the HP for whatever reason is not near what one would expect for this engine built in this weight of car would think.
Yeah.. I was thinking more converter could really help the holeshot. It would not effect MPH though would it?
Would like to test a big carb on it.
Years ago i had Hensley build me a 416
Went in a 3400 pound 70 Duster.All steel, bench seat interior, 300 pound plus driver.... me...lol..CE 3 ways all around, s/s springs, corrected Eddie heads with no porting, tti 1 5/8 to 1 3/4 step headers and flowmasters 750 holley, weiand excellerator, 4.10 gear, 28 tire, 3500 10 inch Coan “ super competition” convertor. Crane 248/258 540/560 solid cam.
Ran 11.70’s... was super diasapointed. Sounded good, but ran 113-114 mph.
Over the winter, took the heads off, sent back to Hensley, had them do a “ stage 2” port on them. Actually very modest work. They maxed at 274@600.
Then put a 1025 rs 4150 race Demon on it, and a PTC 5000 flash 8 inch convertor along with a PRH( on this board) specced 260-266 598/623 lift comp cam.
So... made heads a little better, more carb, convertor, and camshaft.... everything else unchanged..
Results...
10.74@ 124.60 1.46 60 foot.
You already have better heads than i had above.... so you can see for yourself what an otherwise similar combo responds to... btw 727 trans too
