Default 383 stroker kits

Ok fellas, which is a good stroker kit for my zz430 that is being fixed for a procharger? I'm thinking why not. Any places that might sell them, or any recommendations?

Do you have a local machine shop that you are familiar with? If so, I'd try them first.

I chose to work with Lunati on mine and I'm glad I did. Their cranks, rods, and pistons are all top-notch forgings, and their kits are engineered to work together. They come pre-balanced and complete with bearings, rings, etc.

As far as stroker 'kits' go, they are the best I've seen for quality and price. Yes, you can get better quality (Crower's stuff is awesome) but it'll cost more. You can save dough by going with SCAT or Eagle or Speed-O -Motive, but quality suffers.

The Lunati stuff is fairly priced, and the forgings are excellent American pieces...plus you save on the balancing charges. It's a good deal.

I would get pricing from Mike at http://www.lewisracingengines.com/pa...2073/index.htm

Very good pricing and located up in Northern California.

Thanks guys. I think the motor is going to over the top racing or some place like that to be machined and checked. I spoke to Lewis racing a while ago and he's really busy. I was just curious on kits and cost and if there was a better kit then the eagle kits?
