I was going to go with a Scat stroker kit but after reading the K1-Scat rod thread and hearing that RyanJ had a horrible set of rods come from Scat I'm not so sure anymore. What have you guys used that seem to have decent QA-QC.

I'm looking for a high compression forged flat top piston kit with a 4" 4340 crank and 4340 h-beam rods. Speed-O-Motive has a kit but it doesnt tell you what brand rods or crank it has.



What have you guys used with good results?

Pm Dan from performance only racing, He will set you up with a quality stroker kit. Rob.

TTT

I know there are alot of you stroker guys out there. Did you use a kit or did you piece one together yourself?

I pieced one together I got a Callies crank a set of Scat H Beams that checked good OOTB and a set of custom diamond slugs.

Zeb, my was pieced together as well. MP forged crank, Cat H-beams and Wiseco pistons and Speed Pro rings. Jim

I prefer piecing them together as there really is none that have just what I want ootb.

I got a good deal on a couple mopar cranks one cast and one forged both of them check out real good as well as the cast mopar crank I used in my other stroker motor.

I have used several sets of I beam SCATS seen a few eagles and will never use a set just eyeballing them and knowing about their junk alloy. I was suprised to see Ryans answer to my other thread but he is someone whom I respect their opinion a lot.

I really like I beams for there light weight and easy fit into strokers. They are a lot stronger than people give them credit for, NASCAR guys pretty much all run I beams for one example.

Also off the shelf piston choices really suck, you either get a 21cc or so dish or a flat top. You either get too much compression or not enough.

Custom pistons about 15 cc or so usually work good. Flat tops are fine if you run huge open chamber crappy head or race gas.

I think your best bet is to call DRAM tell him what you want and let him put together a kit for you. Get the parts you want the service you deserve have them shipped to your house, massage them how you want then have them balanced locally.

Try here http://www.gofaststuff.com/kits.html this guy also sells on ebay

i bought my stuff off e bay eagle parts/ ross pistons. everything checked out fine

I bought a kit from Dram. Lightweight K-1 H-beams, K-1 forged 4.00 crank, and custom Diamond pistons.

I pieced mine together; Eagle forged crank, Scat I-beams, custom Diamond pistons, total seal rings. Everything had good fit and finish.

This is the one I used(internal balance). Dram is also a good choice.
