Stroker Smallblock cost

Hey you guys... you are not even addressing the big issue. It does you no good to have a big horsepower / high torque engine if you don't do some serious upgrades in the rest of the drivetrain to get that power to the ground!

I am reading all about what it costs to build up an engine... but without the transmission, rearend, frame bracing and all of the other items that it takes to put it all to the pavement... all the power in the world will be worthless!

It is quite possible that the other "required upgrades" will cost more than what it cost to build the engine! This is especially true when you go all out on a maximum performance build.

Failure to upgrade to handle the power output is why you see a whole lot of 600hp+ cars that can't break a 12.5 second 1/4 mile time.
