Cheap power or stroker

[pugsta 85]

Hi just wonderin if its better to spend cash on a stroker kit or the same amount on other upgrades ( shift kit, roller rockers, heads,ect). i have a vr 5lt BT1 with extractors, exhaust, crow cam, soon to have CAI ( On Friday) what sort of power figures Would i have? Soon to be 180+rwkw currently 171rwkw

Sounds like you have quite a few bolt ons already. If your still hungry for more power even with what you've got then you'll need a stroker or forced induction. More bolt ons will only get you so far

No worries cheers! If im gettin the stroker whats best value 4 money the 355 or 383 Power + Economy??

383's go hard. i went in an aero with one of these and he was fishtailing from an almost standing start in 2nd gear. I looked at them a few few years ago and I *think* a 355 was about 9,000 and a 383 was 14,000 from COME racing. I was close to putting the 383 in my car but then the missus then kid came along..

I thought a 355 was alot cheaper from COME, im pretty sure from their advert a 355 stroker is at least 2k and a 383 isnt that much more id have to check the ad

edit:
a 355 Stroker kit with nodular cast crank, forged 4340 steel "I" beam rods and forged pistons all for $5500.00 delivered anywhere in Australia! The same deal with our 383ci Stroker kit is $6000.00 delivered anywhere in Australia! By far the best quality Holden V8 products at the best prices.


500 extra bucks for 383

You won't save for a stroker if you keep spending your money on bolt-on sh*t. Depends on how bad you really want something i guess.

No matter what displacement you go for, your going to have to get a manifold that flows. The factory runners are a joke and are ok for down low torque, wont make any good power above 3500rpm. So make sure you get yourself onto a good one before you go spending up big on the bottom end or you'll never get the power your expecting. stay well away from starr performances manifold with the 90mm throttle body. biggest waste of 1500 bux in my life!!
