Those two specifics dictate a cubic inch requirement that is likely higher than 440...likely.

Now you add in the requirement that it be a stump puller (my words) off idle

Now your REALLY making things difficult, if not impossible.

Does that make sense?

But strokers greatly increase low end torque correct? So its very difficult to have a good street driving 550 hp 440?


I drive and test carbs weekly on my stroker 470 which makes around 700 lets say based on my recent 1/8th mile et's and mph. A blast to drive but I've been doing this since the late 80's and if you are not pointed in the right direction when you stab it, things can go REALLY wrong..........Based on your questions I'd say if you had a 450-475 hp 440, you'd be ecstatic........... beer
