Street and strip, and I know my heads may be a limiting factor (stock indy 360-2 cnc 230 heads). I have had my engine up for sale to go BB since nitrous is out of hand in price here now, but havent had much interest so I am going to pull and freshen it... I thought about going to bigger stroke, porting the heads and running n/a. Its a stock block but half filled, and it already has a 4" crank.
Would it be worth it to go bigger? Id like to stay pump gas but raise cr from where it is now (10.4:1)
Since you already have the 4" stuff, are the pistons reusable? I don't know if it would be worth it, but I love driving mine on the street with the 4.125 assembly. I have 3.89 gears with a 29.5 tire so it's a pretty mild gear, and I can stab it in any gear at any speed and the response is instant. It made 500+ torque from 4200 to 6400 (540 peak), so it's a fantastic pump gas street motor.
I love it when guys talk budget then mention a roller cam and heads that take special rocker gear, headers and intake manifolds. My engine has a set of twenty year old Crane Gold 1.5 rockers and a 600 lift solid flat tappet cam with stock port windows and geometry. Pretty boring stuff for an engine that's shoved me to 10.39-128 NA and 9.43-139 on a small plate. I know, the numbers aren't very impressive compared to the race cars around here, but it has over 6000 street miles on it so far, drinking 89 pump swill.
