408 Stroker
Good morning Paul;
The idea of showing up the kids and there Subaru's sounds like a fun idea. Before we start, what kind of power do they have and are there cars supercharged/turbocharged?
The old saying of “There is no replacement for displacement” is 98% true. That last 2% is really two things. 1, Power vs weight. The other, adding boost artificially adds displacement. You can have a really big engine making 900 HP, but, if it is moving a loaded dump truck, we’ll, that isn’t going to be to good. Adding a turbo on there 4 bangers to the tune of double the atmosphere pressure doubles there engine size.
Ask the kids;
The actual size of there engine and if it is pressurized.
(Turbocharged/supercharged)
The vehicles weight
How many speed transmission and gear ratio.
Know thy enemy and know thyself.
Which leads to the same questions for you.
“Your!” 1970 Dart swinger weighs how much?
The converter seems a bit low. It will stall higher with the stroker. I run a PTC 9.5” stalls about 3500. I is fine driving around on the street. With the advances in converter technology higher stall no longer means a PITA on the street.
I so totally agree with this.
