Scrming knows the answer to this, I know that the v6 tranny is the Tremec T-5, don't know about auto. I do know that if they are the same, there are still some subtle differences which prevent the straight swap of a drive shaft or transmission.

 

one word for you friend...

ebay

 

obviously there would be no canned tune for this combination, so yes i would have to tow it and have it tuned. How do you think they would go about that? Cause they have to have the car running to tune it right? Ive changed my mind so many times with mods for my car but this time i think i will actually stay on track. Whats going to be hard though, is not buying any more mods for a whole year!

 

You are right... while the auto tranny is the same model number in the GT and the V6 there are some slight differences... The input shaft is smaller on the V6 version and apparently the clutch pack isn't as sturdy... don't know about the rest.... but... on a positive note.... I was hitting my drive train with 460 RWTQ when i was spraying with the 100HP shot of juice... when we bumped it to 125HP shot the torque was close to 500 ft/lbs!!! That's on the stock automatic and 7.5 with a T-lok in it! On Drag Radials!!! LOL!

Now... the issue i see with the stroker kit is going to be labor... it is not going to be cheap and it's not something that you are going to want to do in your garage unless you know how to work on the 4.0L... chances are it's a lot different then any motor you've worked on...

 

as long as you have the special timing tools, and you knew what your doing you could do it yourself, shouldnt bea huge problem

as for the 4.5 and force induction together, IS A BAD IDEA,the thrust angle is going to be huge, if you add boost to that thrust angle your going to be splitting pistons in half,i dont care how well forged they are or where you bought them

thrust angle is the angle of the piston to connecting rod after top dead center ,because the motor is stroked out, it has more throw, which increases the thrust angle (which is a weak spot)

 

Know anything about whether theyre making a stroker kit for the GT's Rygen?

 

dont waste your time getting the 8.8 rear end they dont hold up for **** either. if your trying to make power near 500hp you will need a 9". currie will custom build you a 9" rear end, for serious power makers it a must have.

 

why would a V6 company make a stroker kit for a V8?

 

I didnt mean that specific company, I meant anyone in general. Sorry for that confusion.

 

Well, I don't see why there wouldn't be any stroker kits for the GT, it's just that most of us on the 4.0 boards keep our eyes peeled for the 4.0 and not the GT. Especially since the GTs tend to have a plethora of parts available to them and they come from the factory with a lot of power to begin with.

We're just trying to keep up with the Joneses so to speak.
