Lol, I dunno. They say the stroke can give you around 50hp. Wonder if you get that much out of it if the rest of the motor is stock. It would take a dweebo to do that. huh?

Actually, I guess you would get around 50 lbs of tq...at the crank. When you put it that way, it doesn't sound so silly. But yeah, stock heads would probably choke up most of the gain anyway. Agreed--if you have the money to build a stroker, it seems only natural to put some heads on it.

Definetly. It would be worthless without heads IMO. I have a race coming when I get it back. It's a bone stock 2001 vette. Non Zo6. Ive taken 2 regular vettes like that, but they we're close ones. This dude has had this car for like 1 month and is parading around town like the king. He beat my cousin (97 cobra, stock except exhaust) and he beat a 2001 firehawk also. He got the cobra by 2 cars and the firehawk by 1 car. My buddy in a 90 gt raced him today and he got him by 2 cars also. He has a 302 with wondsor Jr heads/ cobra intake/ e cam and a few boltons. I hope I can toast him good. He keeps getting everybody on the holeshot because of the trac control. Im going to get some drag radials and weld my subframes on+ throw the upper/lower contral arms I bought. And throw the RPM II intake on also. Its gonna be fun if I can get him. Everybodies counting me as an underdog because I havent run it for awhile.

Another ole buddy! Sup man? I hope I can get him. I just have to get the holeshot. The ones I beat before were from a roll. They said it takes off like a rocket with the trac control on. Its hard to beat that, mine spins bad. I think d/rads and the other things may hook mine up good enough. This dudes such a punk too. I want the firehawk too. He beay my cuzz by 1 car, got him out the hole too. That firehawk was an auto.

What will you save up for after the gears? A set of heads would have her rockin! Ha ha, did the cops actually see you racing, or was he speeding after the race? Or did they just chase him for running?
