My 517 C.I. pump gas 400 stroker motor ended up making 727 HP. at 7300 RPM with a set of Indy SR M.W. port heads and an Indy 400-3 intake with old Holley List 9375 Dominator non ultra carb on Oregon 91 octane pump swill It ran a best of 9.993 at 134.7 MPH corked up with the air cleaner on with me in the car weighing 3450 Lbs. on M/T 31x13x15 E.T. Street bias tires: boogie:
The camshaft was a Comp Cams custom solid roller made for someone else that I bought hoping and thinking it would work okay in that motor, it was 260 degrees @.050 on the intake lobes with .420 lobe lift and the exhaust was 266 @.050 with .409 lobe lift ground on a 108 LSA installed at 106 to 107 intake lobe center ( I degree all my cams at .050,.100 and .200 before and after max lobe lift, just to see how good the lobes are work devil up)
I ended up using a set of Harland sharp roller lifters that check out to be 1.65 ratio at the valve retainers, they were sold to me by them as 1.60 ratio. shruggy work I check every valve for lift to make sure the rockers are all good up scope
I put hundreds of 1/8 and 1/4 mile passes on that car as well as over 3000 street miles having a lot of fun smoking the tries on the street almost at will: hammer: devil:

Good post Cab, your usual good info......so 517ci, 672/654 260/266@.050, 3450lbs/134.5mph = 700fwhp according to my calcs but whatever. As I said prior I'm taking a back seat on this now. I can only suggest things from my limited knowledge on strokers from what I've learned from here and elsewhere as I've not been there and actually done it so you speak to people who have, hence the post and questions.

So I gave him the link to this thread right at the start and he could've asked questions himself if he wanted to, he's a knowledgeable guy but he's not built a more race oriented stroker motor before.

thanks all.
