Default 4.3 stroker kit

Im thinking of doing the 4.3 storker kit but i would like to get some feed back from anyone who has done it. The plan is for a TT setup, but for now i was thinking of the low comp piston option and running a small nitrous setup till i could get a TT kit. Feedback please...

Mike

if you plan to do a stroker kit with a TT setup.. you should read the Feedback forum.. and the best option is a 4.2 Stroker kit

who cares about feed back. you should think about how deep the wallet is and if its going to suite your needs.

Ive priced the kits, and found the guy. Same one who did my specv. I knew you meant the FI section. I found one article. Im looking for a kit that comes with a block that is machined and sleeved already too, that would same me alot of down time.

Mike
BUT, to the intended question. If i were to do the 4.2(which i meant) and go low comp for a furute TT setup, what would my NA gains, IF ANY, be? And could/should I shoot Nt on a lowcomp piston... Ive never done the Nitrous thing so call me noob.

yeah i guess i should have included all of that info! Kit would be first i do believe. BUT, as with my sentra, I wish to shoot for a nice 500-600whp number. And i see the 4.2kit to be the best, safest, and most reliable way there.

i dont think there would be a problem doing it peicing it together... but I just think from past experiences with alot of members on this forum, you should take it to someone that would be experienced with what is going on... cause alot of memebers have had to have thier whole setup redone a few times to get it right cause of the shop. I mean just some off the top of my head, sharif in GA, PF in orlando, MRC in Jersey, GTM in cali.. just make sure you do research on the shop just as much as the kit, cause even if it costs you alittle more in the beginning it will save you ALOT of headache later.. and a specV is a little different from a VQ so i dont kknow if you really want to be going to the same shop... just my 2cents.

FI-R by travis burelle. He's the builder of my spec. He also does all the VQ swaps into the specs. He knows good people with nearly every company you mentioned.

then you have better options.. for the HR motor.. GTM has 4.5L Stroker and they already have a TT kit on the market also

Yeah from what I've discussed with him, he said pistons rods and a TT kit and I should be nearing that number. But, I’m a trooper when it comes to paying more for reliability and limiting down time, so a sleeved block at the very least. I’m really thinking the stroker.

Just theoretically, how much can be made all motor with a fully built high comp 4.5?

GTM HR stroker FTW. If I made any money, I would have this in a heartbeat.
