Tx65, what exactly have you done with your drivetrain? Do you go to
the strip or just the street?

What are the advantages/disadvantages of the rpm 331 stroker kit? Will I get comparable power from the kit?


Thanks for the answers
Mine is just a cruiser, so it just sees the street. It may see the track one day though just to see how fast it is. I may even race my Dad's 97 Cobra when we go. Thats if we ever take them.

Its a roller 302 out of a 90 Mustang. Its bored 30 over. Its been reworked and basically just has the Edelbrock package on it.

I run 3.50 gears, but have OD with the T5. Its awesome to be on the highway running 75 mph and turning only about 2k RPM.

Lookin hot, tex.

I've got a friend who owns a machine shop, so maybe a stroker kit will be a good way to go...

Thanks Buddy,

That would be cool. I had considered doing that to mine, but decided not to.
