Does anybody know about any stroker kits for these new ls1. Im still trying to decide between
1 building my 5.3 (which Ive about given up on cant seem to get the gains I want),
2 going supercharged/turbo or
3 boring and stroking it over.
I want max power but, this is an everyday driver the only vehicle I have. I want power damnit

Any suggestions ideas thoughts are welcome

PS: just had tranny built up with trans-go servos and 3000 stall, I was amazed at the wear on it. 2nd gear band was burned and the housing over the planetary the teeth were getting smoothed over I would have lost 2nd and reverse ( the truck only has 33k on it). I lucked out though the guy doing it for me works for gm and replaced clutches, housing, band etc under waurantee
oh also one of the front axle bushings was leeking also got fixed under warantee I lucked out he said the tranny would have gone after the manufacturers was up Man Im glad I found a good mechanic they are worth thier weight in gold

 

personally I would look at a 408 iron block or SLP 402. You can actually build these decently cheap now and get alot of power out of them. You do need to decide if you want to go forced induction or NA.

 

which is the best bang for the buck I figure I can either spend around 4k on just a supercharger or turbo

or I can spend the same and build the engine

which will I get more results from Ive been doing alot of research and wicked heads cam rockers etc could net me around the same increase if not more than id get from a supercharger with stock internals on the engine

choices

alot of people seem to just like the ease of bolting something on thats fine but Im oldschool

i say go with the built motor but dont say you cant get power out of a 5.3 i think grey silver proved us all wrong with his 11 sec once again congrats to him on that and hell parish even pulled some mean @#%^ in a damn 4.8 hehe so just go with what you want but there is nothing better for power under the curve than a stroke motor with a good cam selection

 

The best bang for the buck is Forced Induction.


And it also adds that way cool factor.
