Proposed 400 bb build, cam recommendations
I'm not saying a stock stroke can't make 600 HP at all. I'm saying the kb pistons you mentioned net 9.5 and that makes it much more difficult to get a useable 600hp
If that’s what you come up with, you need to be more creative.
Nascar 358 isn't a comparison lol,
Sure it is budget or not. They did it. Use your head.
1 man's budget vs Chrysler corporation r&d lol not fair bud.
Agreed, stroked 400 is a much better and easier path to 600 HP.
The Dodge teams, Chrysler backed, NOT Chryslers money or engineers, let’s not blur that line like it’s a fact here, just used the same MoPar parts in the same catalog that you used to get. Except the cam and possibly/probably the pistons, all the W9 stuff is still available I think. If your or anyone else’s wallet isn’t as thick as it needs to be for such an endeavor….. well, I’m part of that club so pull up a chair and I’ll duck behind the bar and grab ya a beer.
Affording the parts is one thing. Knowing what to do with them is a mountain size difference.
Your pushing the idea that this would require a ton of money and rpm. I have only one word for that….
NOT!
In fact, if you do the math the 400 B engine is a better bang for the buck over an LA engine, both running stock displacements. Stroker kits for the BB are cheaper to boot.
