[bwkmaro]

i just bought a 3.8 and 4l60e tranny for 800$ bucks and in the same day bought about 6k for all kinds of over haul **** im looking for 450hp at the crank. i bought a stroked3800 stroker kit, bored 40 over dimond forged pistons, x-p hot cam, stage 3 racing heads, full gasket kit , long tube headers, hp tuner and a bunch of other junk ( got a nice settlement check oh yea:rock: i prob should have just bought a v8 but is funner to make a v6 bad ***

im looking for 450hp at the crank. stroker kit, bored, forged pistons, cam, heads, long tubes, hp tuners and a bunch of other junk

Are you going to add any FI or spray? I know the forged pistons would like either one, but not the crank. If I remember correctly ZZ snapped their stroker crank at about 14psi making 375hp. They do not rec more than 9psi boost or 50 shot of nitrous. I dont mean to discourage you but 450 is alot of horsepower requiring a big power adder. I have never seen a diamond forged 40 over piston for our cars, but that doesnt mean they dont make it. What compression ratio? I am anxious to see your project develop. Best of luck. :tup:

Re: starting operation bad *** 3800

N/A? even stroked isnt that really high?

How much did the heads run you?

I wanna see! lol

Re: starting operation bad *** 3800

im planning on running high boost( more than 14psi) i want to get a twin turbo set up but for now im gunna see what i can make n/a and they r the abbot stage 3 heads i wanted the highest flow ratings for the heads and cam cause it should be a 4.3l when im done not a 3.8l so the amount more air im moving that big of a cam and heads really isnt gunna make it "un-streetable". plus im gointg to school and it just so happens my teacher has a speed shop and he only works on 1993 and up f-bodys so hes gunna teach me how to use the hp tuner program and use his dyno

this isnt a zz crank check it out and i got the low compresstion pistons with this set but i bought high comprestion ones for now http://3800stroked.com/performancekit3.htm

Re: starting operation bad *** 3800

Where did you get your long tube headers from?

[techsan23]

Re: starting operation bad *** 3800

I kind of figured it was swan. ZZPerformance stopped building their stroker kits a couple of years ago. I noticed swan now has a billet crank. Is that what your going with? With a stroker crank and long tubes it should make gobs of torque. What year is your car, and what gears & diff do you have or will be putting in the rear end?

Re: starting operation bad *** 3800

I wouldn't go stroker, just build the block up with pistons , rods, heads, intakes, and then do a turbo build on it, so you can run 20 PSI if you want, it will make more than a stroker kit. Also will need injectors, suspension parts, and gears if you don't have them. hell just in my suspension I have about over $4000 without install pricing on some parts. So money can go quick.

Re: starting operation bad *** 3800

nice stage 3 heads from ARH, what was it 1500 with your core?

Re: starting operation bad *** 3800

you really have me confused with your selection of parts. Sounds like you just went out and bought a bunch of items and didn't research the correct setup to go with or parts....

First issue is your cam purchase, but then also the fact that you are trying to build an NA motor but then you are gonna turbo it later...so are you gonna redo the engine to set it up for turbo?

I forsee a lot of wasted money and headaches in your future. Maybe I am wrong and I very well could be, but I see a lot of issues so far.
