    Stroker Threads... why, oh why.

    How come with every guy thats looking into doing a stroker does he ask the same questions as the person before him, why dont they just read about it in all the numerous threads before his one.

    Also something else, which I find kinda annoying is when a guy asks for help... then argues with u.

    Lol, just thought I would share this with u ppl :)

    For the same reason every time a guy posts about a stroker motor we get a follow up post where someone complains about someone else asking questions that have been answered before...

                lol, not gonna disagree with you on that one...still some claim the iX can handle power (under 250bhp) as long as the Xfer case is well maintained...I dunno

                  Yea, there's a reason we post about doing a stroker...it's cause we don't like M50's. M20's FTW!

                        don't know what your problem is, but my M20 is non-interference. ;)

                            Its because we don't want a motor that EVERYBODY else has done, M50/S50's are boring.


                            S38B38 for the motherfucking win. I love expensive voodoo motors that will cause me to file for bankruptcy when they throw a rod.

                              Haha... awesome.

                              Plus... speaking of swapping out motors and the such. My friend with an Alpina B3 (the one who's M3 CSL I was driving) , is building up a 3.1lt stroker (metric Mechanic stroker kit) with 48mm ITB's 302deg shrick cam, Methanol Injection (2 keep intake temps down) , oh and a CF roof, Bootlid and Hood. With KW Coilovers... looking at around 300hp

                              Scew the M50/S50 ... M20 FTW.

                              But then, I'm looking into using a old M50B25 non-vanos building it up 2 3.3lt and putting it into my track car, that I'm starting with soon.
