Albeit, you sound like you know what your on about which is fair enough but EVERY TIME you respond to a question that i ask you bring with you such a negative vibe. Such a hate for the fact that i would like to build a dream that i have had for a long time.

WHY man???? Confused

To you it's all about wasting the money! It's a hobby dude. They all cost money?!?


You need to relax a bit and lightn up Very Happy


Yep i agree I take your suppositions lightly, and I suppose this is because I've been around cars a long time and seen alot of builds. Personally I think what has now climbed to 200rwkw, is ludicrous in such a light car, and I'll happily admit to having a dislike for and dyno queens too. I think you're thinking to your application is very much from a younger point of view, and not thought out logically, unless your only aim is to beat your brother on the dyno. We have dyno queens here in Perth too, and I can tell you they very rarely make it onto the street, not because they are worried about being defeacted there and then, but because their motors are only set up to do one thing - pull the highest figure possible on a dyno. Many of the guys competeing in such competitions are often asked what their motors will make, their general answer is: "lots or nothing" due to so many of them pushing a ragged edge.

I've also read you intend doing all the work yourself, however have fears of similar questions should you come to use a stroker crank. Yes I agree the "tech and conversion" section of the forums is a good place to learn, however you will get better infomation by asking questions to proven performers. I don't really understand why you want to stroke the motor, you'll be moving the performance from it's sweet spot on a 4A - revs (a stroked motor will work harder to pull the same revs as a standard stroke motor), and to make the package reliable as you've previously stated, it will cost more than the crank, rods, and pistons, ask around?!

Maximum performance is not about maximum power. I have a car only putting out 100rwkw, but somehow think I'd be more competitve than your's in most situations. I appologise to you if you feel I've offended you. I do look forward to seeing you build your project, however am thankful I'm not paying for it. I think there would be better areas of your car to spend the money you'll need to spend on your motor.
