For stroker guys

[ringram]

Anyone considering a stroker and looking at the 6.2L and 6.0L blocks might want to have a look here www.gmgoodwrench.com/GMPerformanceParts/EngineShowcase/index.jsp?engId=LSX&engine=LSX&sku=19166454&engCat=ls
The block was shown at sema. Due out Q1-07 it will support over 500 cubes in the tall desk model, but for us stock parts blokes it will still support up to 482 cubes from memory.
Now you can have a 454 LSx engine.
Only issue is that its iron so will weigh more. But then so do the 408 iron strokers.

Weight would be the annoying part...

And whilst the cubes would be nice. Bigger cc, also means much thirstier.


Ahhh the joys of being blown..you can have a relatively small cc, and make huge power , and retain decent fuel economy.

First time I have heard of 5.7L being described like that!

Go to SEMA next year - you will see that in the serious league, 5.7 is pretty much entry level stuff. For serious players, 500 cid seems pretty much the start, and you can have as much more as you want to pay for. I have seen a tractor puller vehicle fitted with 5 BBCs each of 520cid with B&M blowers and nitrous, each making 2000+ hp. Might be a bit of a handful on the A30, but fun!

Next year, all PH visitors should meet up for a beer one evening.
How about "St Marks Square" in the Venetian, about halfway between AAPEX and Sema, easy to find and a nice place. I did meet Eric the brave from the Vette forum which was a nice surprise!

I stayed in the Treasure Island Hotel which was pretty ok, but you are right, Venetian is better by a mile. Sadly it was booked up when I made my reservation. Next year.........

Was in the Stratosphere 2000 ( the tower at the end of the strip ), bit of a 5h1t hole though!
