If you have by chance disassembled any stroker engines that have been taken repeated trips to 8000+ rpm and have accumulated reasonable mileage (e.g. >15,000 or so), I'd be very curious to know about the condition/finish of the bearing and piston friction surfaces.

FWIW, I recall seeing disappointing results with the Piper Rally cams in an independently conducted test a year or so ago vs. HKS 272 with a GT35R equipped EVO and reasonably good tuning. The reason(s) why are not evident in the specs. If I may ask, which cam set is it that you mentioned that made slightly more peak power than the JUN 272s, but did not perform as well elsewhere?

2) ditch the AEM & roll with MoTeC-enuff said

3) yank those 272 cams & get the Piper Drag Race 290's (u will need their valve springs also as they have 12mm of lift)

i wish u guys the best of luck. AMS is slowly becoming the U.S. equivalent of Norris Designs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

housedj,

nice suggestions and i would go for them too. except the JUN camshaft kit has really proven additional HP. Motec is the good though it is really expensive, thats why Im happy with the Vpro.
(just check my mods too in my sig. pm me for questions if u got some)

with your set-up, i dont think it would be advisable to make it daily driven.

well we've all seen what a built motor, pnp'd head and a GT35R can do daily driven with some race gas on chris' car

... no reason that basically everything on the street that you CAN daily drive will be toast... That camaro with a 200 shot or whatever the f*ck it was...that was just not even close to streetable...and thats really the only race he lost...taht we saw

...

EDIT: and the NOVI 200 s/c'd viper...but that guy was a flame job...chris starts pulling and he lets off....what a jewbag... (sorry if I offended anyone...)

The 35r took care of just about everything in it's time. Lately it seems 600+hp is the norm for true street cars though(at leaste around here). Gotta go big to stay on/near the top on the street racing goodness. Pretty crazy how much people have stepped it up lately.
