A nice set of 320+ CFM AFR's and a nasty solid roller outta be good for 500 HP to the tires. No machine work, no fresh rotating assembly, no balancing, no BS. Just lots o' cheap power. If it blows, happiness is just another affordable junkyard shortblock away

I think when I get out there and I get some spending cash, You'll have to help me blow, er, spend my money
This next question probably doesn't belong in Advanced Tech, but I'll ask anyways. With regards to the solid roller cam, how does that affect longivity? I know you've got to adjust lash more often, but other than that, I don't know much about solid rollers.

this is my opinio (tell me if i'm wrong), as long as you do it all right it shouldn't be a problem, you just can't run as high rpm's as you used to cause the pistons/rods would be traveling tooooo fast and someting could blow

I hope to get alot of miles out of my stroker..Prolly just take it to the track a few times and to the dyno once so Ill know what it will do..Once I know what it runs I will have the satisfaction that I have a fairly quick car I would rather be cruising in my car rather than it sittin on jackstands waiting for me to rebuild it..I have about 1800 miles on my stroker..
