no, its how hard you run it, but the problem is the stroke is so long, it rocks the piston in the bottom of the cylinder well, and you should get the piont, long stroke=short life for anything, what is the next step down stroker kit for a 351 383?

Consider a 408... And by the way, there is nothing wrong with a long stroke... At least she says so....
