Engine Build / Stroker before FI - Thoughts and Questions

SS_Firehawk

I think I'm going to get my hands dirty on this one. Nismodean, everyone here offered suggestions and thoughts. Others have experience, and a lot is common knowledge. To say everyone who tried to help just blurted out useless information is crap. You just waltz in here and preach about the greatness of Mikes post and crapping on everyone else. I like Mike and GTM and his input is invaluable. But it does not devalue the input of the community. You can't dictate what is relevent, that's the OP's job. You know, the guy who opened the thread. He didn't compain. I have a hard time blaming Tower74 for poking you with a stick. I'm not sure what benefit your posting had.

So can we get back to what the thread was about? I want moar displacement! I don't remember where I read it, but it's better to have peak torque higher in the powerband. Can't remember specifically what was said, something about the engine being able to handle the stresses better at high rpm rather than down low. This may be something to look further in to. Also flexing 500+whp for extended periods of time involves a serious amount of cooling. Outside of that tuning is key to the longevity of the engine.
