im hoping to have my nitrous kit soon, but im gonna spray at least 100 shot on it. once i get my forged rods and pistons with the 4.1 stroker crank i'll prolly jump up to 150 or175.

[Timbo1969]

Where are you getting a 4.1 stroker crank..I hope its a custom billet one as the one for ZZP won't hold up to a 50 shot let alone a 150 shot.

the machine shop near me is the crank specialist of michigan. its going to take him a while to build me a forged one, if he can at all. but hes gonna try. he priced me at about 4000.

dang cheap to bore it out and put sleavs in lol

[Timmy]

its 2300 for the forged crank. 600 for the forged pistons. and 650 for the forged rods. and 500 for him to install it. is the too much???

[ReodDai]

No that sounds fine as long as he does a damn good job. Hopefully you get what you pay for.

[Timmy]

you think i should try to talk him down a little?? I didn't know what forged bottom ends go for.

[Pewter2K1]

i think you are nuts..... thats a whole lot of cash... you will have a $6000 motor in a $4000 car.

[ReodDai]

Lol Pewter I've seen $20,000 engines in $500 cars.

are you serious??? 95batmobile has almost 7000 in his 3.4, skinny has over 8000, and big tymer has over 12000, granted he only spent about half but these are the prices of going fast. i guarantee that there are more people that have put over 6000 in a car that values less than 4000. i wanna see a 12 second time slip, and if i have to get a forged bottom end, im gonna do it.

If you're going to stroke the engine you need a hella bigger cam than that comp grind to take advantage of it.

It's all in how bad you want it.
