RE: stroker engines
Well trying to put down 700+ rwhp on a street car with a 5 speed IMO not worth it. More affective with a Auto. But each there own. It all really depends on what your goals are for. I know if I was building a 1/4 street car with tons of hp I would want a 4 speed Auto

RE: stroker engines
Hey did you get your car fixed? also were talking about the Stroker they put in the red saleen? if so, that does look sick! Chris is the best. My car runs better than it did stock, when it comes to smoothness.

im thinking of running copper head gaskets in the motor they help provide a better seal when combined with cutting matching receier grooves in the cylinder head and block. this is done in applications where there are high amounts of cylinder pressure. you run a sized copper wire into the groove improving cylinder seal. i also feal like running pretty much the full selection of antifriction, thermal barrier, and none stick coatings throughout the motor. nonstick coatings reduce windage loss when applied to the crankshaft and the rotating assembly because their is less oil stuck and it results in a more consistant and lighter rotating assembly. thermal barriers are designed to keep heat from soaking, helping to lower thermal breakdown of the oil and lower cooling temps. it will also help increase the theraml effiency of the motor by keeping heat where it belongs. in the cylinders

RE: stroker engines
Its not really an auto in the sense of what we usually see. Dont get me wrong, i love a stick, wouldnt buy an auto unless i had to. But when you are putting htat much power to the ground it's almost neccissary to get a drag tranny or somthing. I watch pinks a lot, 95% of those cars are auto, and the other 5% are imports, lol. I am against buying an auto mustang too trust me, lol but with 700 hp or so, lol i dont want to be shifting!
On another note, i would LOVE to build a stroker, you are very lucky my friend, lol.
