How Big can a 5.2 get?

I don't think it needs a stroker kit based on what you're doing. Sure it would be nice to have all that torque but you're also throwing gas mileage out the window, 5.2L up to 6.4L. Kind of nice to have in a grocery getter especially with European fuel prices, JMO

Thats what I thought and decided not to stroke. I want decent street manners and best possible gas mileage, RON 98 is 1,50€/ litre here, that means its 6,50$/ gallon :D I also decided to feed the engine with Pro-Flo4 fuel injection to support those things. Engine is slowly getting somewhere, next thing to do is to measure piston to head clearance, pistons are sticking .018" up from the hole so with Fel-Pro 8553 gaskets I should get Quench around .035".
