you could probably have supersixmotorsports do up a head for you and match it with that 4.5 stroker kit and be making 450+ hp easy. Its actually exactly what im going to be doing but first i need to do the following

9" currie rear end
coilover conversion to the rear
bunch of suspension supports
aluminum shaft



does anyone know what transmission is on our 4.0l and what it can handle or what i can bolt up to the sixxer.

assuming you do get that and get it installed.... who will do your tuning for it? Get it installed then have it towed to a tune shop?

That much displacement in a V6 configuration - along with a Stroker design (Depth is greater then width)...

THAT think would absolutely kick @ss in the TORQUE department!

You would lose some RPM top out - but way gain in TQ and HP potential.

OK, here's my big dilemma. If I plan to go F/I in about a year should I build a stroker to run NA and max its potential now or build it for F/I and just be satisfied until I can afford the power adder? Hmmmm ... now that I'm thinking about it, what about maxing it out NA then later installing a safe, durable and reliable F/I like X-Charger? Even though it might add only about 30% wouldn't I still be at or over 400 streetable RWHP?

Or maybe this just sounds dumb? Anybody got any ideas?

you do need to realize that you need to start looking at the rest of your drive line over 300 RWHP. you'll likely want a new rearend 1 piece drive shaft and somethign would have to be done about the transmission. If you truly want the HP at the wheels and not simply a dyno queen, this will be a pretty expensive undertaking.

Yeah, Goliath, I thought about that. I already figured I'd get an 8.8 rearend anyway. I know Speed Concepts has one with 3.31 gears and LSD for $650. And I know the driveshaft won't hold up to that much torque but I thought we're running the same tranny (I have an auto) that the GT's have? And aren't those guys running F/I at over 400 RWHP? Maybe I'm wrong. Dunno.

But you're giving me something to think about. Thanks.
