SKMFX Engines gets 519 hp stock stroke 360

412 Stroker said

I guess I didn't word that correctly, 10,000 miles is NOT a good cost/mileage, unless you are only doing a 1/4 mile at a time, I recently read a post that they had over 10k on thier stroker, so I guess it all depends on how you drive/maintain your engine as to the life expectancy. I guess what i was getting to is if cap walk was such an issue like the builder was stating in his article, then we can expect a much shorter life out of a stroker??

I think the key thing to realize about the statement of stroker life is that they is building a motor for the Engine Masters competition to be run on a dyno under certain rules.

Not building a motor for a street car under a customer’s parameters (rules). I get from Brian’s statements that these are VERY SPECIFIC built motors maxed out for this specific competition. Why wouldn't they, it's a competition.

The certain stroke combos that may work well or not well in this competition might entirely different outcome for an end user customer in his car.
