I currently have a 2056 with a great top half. Big valve heads, Micro Squirt, and 96mm P/Cs. But I want more HP. I have set myself a $4K budget for building the bottom half, potentially going to 2.3 with a stroker crank, adding cam, balancing, and making some valve train improvements. But I started thinking, you know how dangerous that is, are there any other engine options in the $4K range that would provide reasonable HP increase. Not looking for 250 HP but just enough to keep it interesting.
Anyone got thoughts or suggestions? Open to most options but not sure that converting to water cooled is even remotely possible with the budget limit. Engine swap for proven HP increase seems the easiest option but thought I would see what the brain trust could come up with. |

I had a failed DPR crank on my 2316....cracked where oil passage was too close to the journal/web junction. I then went with FAT who uses new forgings on the 80mm stroker and he also put in 5 dowels to my flywheel & balanced it.....bulletproof! Check them out.....also used forged pistons (JB) as I was using it for DE events.
Using TPS only since the ITB's screw up the MAP signal for the SDS controller. Cruises fine using closed loop, seeks 14:1 at steady state automatically, nice. Still on "old" Raby 9550 cam & dyno's at reasonable HP & torque. |

I am looking at numerous options and certainly getting to this point would be a dream! Love that torque curve. Much better than the stock 6! |
