stroker vs. overbored and head being addressed

so thats why im concerned about valvetrain, carrillo is going to be the way i end up going, expensive but worth it when we consider where this is going. Cosworth will be a possibility for heads, we found some that are a slight overbore and very strong, so we'll have to check the avenues available right now.
keep it coming guys, youre all a big help too!

aside from that you have more rod angle and ultimately less power per stroke (displacement put aside) as the piston has less dwell and therefore less time to burn...with a better rod ratio you have more dwell and more time to burn you can ignite later and get a more complete burn having more pressure above the piston to force it down on the right side of the stroke...
Do a little reading on BMEP and flame propagation speeds...if only there was a long rod set up...

There is a long rod setup available. Magnus Motorsports offers a long rod which reduces the less favorable rod ratio for the stroker 2.3..., and makes for a very light 2.0 and 2.2 shortblock. Magnus offers rods in 150mm, 156mm, and 162mm lengths, and pistons to match. Also available are complete built 2.0 long rod, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, and 2.4 long rod shortblocks. Check them out here: http://www.magnusmotorsports.com/engines/dsm.htm
I expect that other engine builders may also offer similar builds.
given your parts selection my guess is that this is a road race setup???
i would to go for the best of both worlds w/a 2.2L stroker. if you want to rev high, get the Norris Designs kit. 8800+rpm with no reliability issues. check into Omega for pistons (best in the business & std on FQ-400)
valve springs-JUN or Cosworth. nuff said
u could also look into a fully built Cosworth head & they can put your cams in for you...

You are in Ohio why not just call or go to Buschur, they will tell what works best for what you want. The have done alot of testing and have many differant set-ups (on shop cars ect and customers) which they found works well. Why try to re-create the wheel.
Maybe a stroker with a 50 trim or 3076r would be great in the power band you will have with a stroker. If you go with a built 2.0 and plan on reving high 9k the 3076r/50trim may run out of breath. I would then do a 35r or 37r (you could run this on the stroker .
Good luck and get the Visa/ check book ready. Keep a 2-5k reserve, stuff will break.

the more directly down the piston is pushed the more power exerted...the longer the rod ratio the more power per stroke per unit of displacement the better...

Doesn't matter who you are and what you do, you don't at all understand IC engine basics.

all I'm saying is the more direct the ignition to top dead center (with dwell being a major player along with the flame speed) the better the burn and the more % of pressure is developed pushing the piston in the correct direction instead of against itself...that is how how you get more power per stroke per unit of displacement

Scorke, i hope youre not flaming someone inside my thread.
As for the set-up we have searched far and wide and not found what we plan to do. The peak power from it will be great, but will not be any massive turbo power...(i.e. AMS big turbo kits for straight line use
) the money isnt the issue and i know David personally im going to call him today.
i appreciate the input about the 2.2 storker, its still not quite what im looking for. We'll see how things turn out. Thanks everyone...
what about valvetrain? what seems to be working best with the guys revvin past 10-11k?

you don't have to ignite earlier in the stroke (making pressure above the piston as it approaches TDC)...you will now fire later (still before TDC) but the engine will be more free to rev and you can get more of the pressure from combustion to force the piston down after TDC...
kinda a half *** I'm tired of explaining things kinda answer...if you prod from here I will still answer more indepth but no need for one post...also jumbled lots of thoughts and re-edited so probably is hard to read/comprehend what I was getting at...
scorke: the manifold has been designed using helmholtz and will be built in-house (at least the prototypes)
