Hi , just wondering why i never hear anyone really praise a 2.2 stroker kit, whats up with them?

Everytime i read about a big power R or listen to someone who is planning on a big power project R,i never see or hear a mention of a 2.2 stroker :?

I would of thought a stroker kit would be the way forward for big power?

its not they run out of puff its down to bore stroke ratios and the fact a stroked engine dont like to be reved as much saying that you only have to look at RC's evo and the fact the stroker in that is revving to near 9k or something and they have only ever damaged one rod i think pete was saying
stroker kits are good but need to be very well balanced and very strong if there gonna be pushed for mega power and also have a nice big turbo bolted to it :D

The main downside with a stroker has gotta be the cost in building the thing. You've then got to have a big enough turbo to flow enough air for it. Mine certainly doesnt run out of puff at 5500. I do have a half weight crank, but it revs really well. Also getting 400lb of torque at 4500 rpm.

If you look at all the big power evos out there most are running stroker kits.

It was custom made by farndon engineering. I understand that they also make stroker kits for one of the big jap companies to add a chunk of cash on and sell though.
