Stroking a LSX engine

[not2melo]

Anyone here had any experience with stroking a LSX engine.
I have read a little about it before adding my Trickflow heads but still have to do a little research.
If I stoke the LS1 can go to 383 or maybe even higher to 402?
I am trying to figure the HP that I could get out of the motor, maybe just over 500rwhp?

Also Manny if you are reading what is the price for just going with a LS2 block and stroker kit and swapping
the whole thing in.

I still think the first option is cheaper and a little faster to do, found a few kits of Fleebay of all places
some go for $1700 for Eagle & Hawks Racing (scares me because they are so cheap), then the elite
is a Lunati 383 LS1 stroker kit but is $5000

Any input, past experiences good or bad are appreciated.

Hi Greg, if you are going to stroke your LS1 to 383 then the price is not bad at all at $1700 for the rotating assembly . With your current set up you would be in the 500RWHP + club

To do a 402 you would be in the 7g range for a complete set-up plus heads /intake and so on .

I think that if you really want to do the final step in your build, Let's look at doing you a 383 stroker . I will give you a call tomorrow and we can talk

Thx
Manny

Sounds good, give me a shout anytime, out shopping with the wife in the morning.
I still think the NA car will have more grunt off the start then a FI car, know it can
be a large debate but love the low end torque under 3k range over the higher rpm
power range of a FI application.

looks to me like people are going to have to start paying Manny a retainer to guarantee garage space!!!

Thats so true, Manny usually gets booked up for the first part of spring and summer very fast.
I dont think I will be looking to do anything until the fall or maybe over the winter months, guess
it depends on how much downtime for my car to get it swapped in and tuned?

$$$ talks LOL

No worries guys, we always find the time and space to make sure our freinds are roll'n large

It is always one vette at a time

Greg if we pre order all the parts I can have the engine out ,torn down,rebuilt ,installed and tuned in 4 days

Thx

Hahaha, yes I would say go ahead now, but I have alot of money going out right now with the new house,
moving in 4 weeks, so lots to do and pay for with new appliances etc, that is why I mentioned the fall or winter.
The wallet can only take so much strain at one time.
