I agree with ya cxixer. I'd stay away from the juice until you've done all the real mods you can with your car. That sure seems like the lazy mans way of making a car fast. I'd definitely look into the 347. Although it cuts the mileage down that you can put on in a year, if you're bracket racing you don't need that anyway. I know a guy that makes 425 hp from his 347 and never shot any nitrous thru it.

ysum........that;s a statement I would come to hear when one doesn't know how it works..cool while i'm lazy you get comfie in the seat in your car so you can glaze with invy of how pretty my tail lights look<img border="0" src=smileys/smiley14.gif border="0">

What does a 347 stroker kit have to do with how much you can drive in a year?

i heard someone say in another post that they only recommend driving a 347 3000-4000 miles per year (stresses the rods or something). i say juice it with a paxton. for suspension stuff check out www.maximummotorsports.com. that would help your launch and all. maybe some N2O also<IMG src=smileys/smiley16.gif border="0"></P>

Ho..I hear that I'm driven like I stole for what ever miles..

MK...you ever told you that don't buy **** from them....if you use alum rods then you would have a problem with long standing wear

let me say this upfront about the nitrous thing..first it,s a great way and fairly cheap to make great hp & tq. why do I think it's good...1st when not in use your not putting any more than normal stress on your engine no other mod can do this. ......2nd it there when only you need this ......... 3rd it's tunablity. other mods are nice but also shorten the live of the end

Ok - I said no N20.Reasons for this - I want power when I want it, if I'm driving on the street andwant more power, I don't want to have to go the the local welding shop and fill up my bottle.And once I spend the money to make my car fast I don't want to have to keep spending money to keep it that way. I'd like to go natrally aspirated -a 347 is probably my best bet.</P>


If I went withany kind of power adder it would be a set of turbos, they're much more efficient than superchargers. And I havn't seen too many twin turbo '88 GT's around here. But as I said, natrally aspirated.</P>


Thanks for all the input fellas. Lets try not to start fights with anyone but chevy owners. <IMG src=smileys/smiley16.gif border="0">Be civil about this, I just asked for some friendly advice.</P>

I never called it a stroker kit I was just listing what you can get from DSS for 1100 bucks</P>

increased crank length means steeper angle of the connecting rod pushingthe piston. longer stroke also means faster moving piston. faster piston and increased angle of the connecting rod pushing the piston to the wall of the cylinder leads to much higher friction causing more wear turning the cylinder walls slowly into ovals rather than circles giving you problem with blow by and burning oil. that's a lot of wear on your rings too. that my friends is why i say less miles being put on your 347 than being driven daily. I think thats still worth it though compared to n2o, so go for it!!! I think it would fit your application fine.

ysumustang - this "daily driver" that I would be building would kind of be my second "daily driver", it would in fact be my street legal race car. The one I would take out during cruises,car events, and some weekends - other than that it would be a race car. So I wouldn't bee too worried about putting too many miles on it.</P>


I'd much rather see a stroker kit done up nicely than a hit of N2O on anything american. Personal opinion.</P>
