We are starting to think of this winters project and have settled on a stroker build.
What are you guys running and what do you recommend? 

Gotta go 600 HP. 

What cubes?
Bore
Stroke
Rod length
Pistons?  compression height??
What deck height?

5500 rpm limit, pump gas,

Some of what I have on hand is a victor, rpm air gap, and stealth intakes to pick from in the garage
850 holley
edelbrock 95 cc heads
Full MSD marine ignition
MSD roller rockers and pushrods.
stud girdle

Kit or seperates?   

Already balanced or not??

I need a recipe 

Thanks in advance.

Brad can help!

Word has it that both Brad and Marcsrollin have passed the 600 hp mark quite a while back.  But they still quake in their flip flops when the Oldsmobiles come out to play.

I am running a 545 with the Blue Thunder Heads. Never been on a dyno but it spins a detailed bronze B in a fresh pump to 6500 rpm.

What kits or brands should I go with?  Which one's are balanced?
In other words which one's should I avoid and which one's should I go with?

If you don't know from experiance please don't reply.   I need the advice of those
who have been there done that.

Thank you

the 2 kits i was involved with were scat's, both were nice kits and ran well. had to balance both kits as well as went ahead and heat treated the cranks because they were cast. youu will still have to check the kit because they are not a ready to run deal.
