408 Stroker

A good cast crank stroker kit would work fine. Lots of them running out there in the 500hp range. I like a forged piston in the kit.

It doesn't take much to get an A into the 12's. Maybe 330hp. A nice 425-450HP stroker in a good chassis should run EASY high 11's. ET is ALL about the hook, not HP.

Listen to crackedback,AJ/FormS and Moper if he has chimed in. I like to over-engineer so commenting from experience I would go against the grain and build a solid 380-400 hp STOCK stroke 360. Stick some Speed-pro flat tops H116CP pistons on stock rods with ARP bolts or Scat I-beams-balance and use a Lunati Voodoo 10200703 cam with stock rockers. I have made close to 430 HP/440 tq (365) with this and J heads (1.94/1.6 231 cfm @ .450") There you go, save your money say no to 4" strokes. J.Rob
