Stroker Performance Review

I spoke to Eric at Howards cams today. He said with the 120 seat pressure at 1.9 install height it is borderline and he would like to see 15 or so more lbs. He said he would like to see 135/350 area. It is right at 350 open right now. So that is one thing that could be addressed with some shimming to eliminate that as a possible issue.


Replacing the stock volume fuel pump with a Carter strip pump and 3/8 lines nad pickup is another. We will run compression tests and check lash , etc and when we get to the track again will have antoher carb on hand to test.

I would say roughly the engine is down 75-100hp from where someone would reasonably expect it to be.

Hopefully we will figure it out.

The advice on the converter seems sound amd kanes a lot of sense to me. However my main concern is the MPH/HP. If it was a mild street build I would be thrilled but it is not.
