Just kind of a random question for everyone out there.
If one was to build a 4.2 stroker motor what would you have to change and modify in the motor, and if adding on a turbo later what should be done? |

If your going with a stroker then I would not go with a turbo.
If your NA then you want higher compression if your going forced induction then you want to be lower compression. |

Are you kidding? BOTH! The longer stroke will help make up for the turbo lag, which also means you do not need a higher converter stall speed. Win WIN! |
