I have a few questions about the differences between the 4.3 stroker and the normal 3.8 that we have in our sc's. I think we have had this conversation before but I have more questions. I want to build up my sc's bottom end, and I want at least 450 hp and 500 ftlbs of torque if not more what my question is if you were to bore the heck out of the cylinder but not but left the stroke alone could still get more horsepower and high rpms. With this configuration you could still use the same forged crank and buy better rods and pistons. also has anyone offered a forged crank for the 4.3 stroker yet I am really into that but I want to have all forged internals. with a stroker kit in our engines wouldnt that create more compression I thought on our cars the goal was to lower the compression so we could make more boost. Honestly what all would I have to do for an engine internal wise to make 450 hp would I really have to go with a troked engine. I also have learned in school that in a stroked engine once it starts to wear there is a good chance of the pistongetting side ways when it comes down since it is on a smaller rod. please give me your thoughts and concerns on this topic.
