I have seen numerous posts on this stroker build but none of them are completely clear on what is absolutely needed. So here it is, what exactly is needed to build a street/strip friendly N/A 426 stroker?? Here is what I plan on doing, any input on this would be great.
I have a stock 6.1 wk1. In order to turn it into a 426 stroker here is what I plan to do.
1. Manley internals....all of them. Crank/pistons/rods/valves/springs/pushrods
2. Stock heads sent out for CNC porting, my machine shop will be finishing the valve job
3. Manley timing chain upgrade to the double row chain setup
4. Cam... Have not decided brand or lift yet
5. Stainless works catless headers
6. Borla-S catback, may be cutting off resonators (don't care about drone need that rumble!)
7. QTP cutouts
8. Diablosport Intune I-1000 tuner
9. CAI...Have not decided brand yet
10. Catch Can...Have not decided brand yet
Here are my questions.
1. Cam...Brand and lift, which would be best for mostly street driving? I want upwards of the max lift I can achieve while still being street friendly. In other words most lobe-over glug glug sound at idle while being streetable. I don't plan on any super or turbo upgrades, I want to keep it natural.
2. Timing chain set..Really necessary or overkill?
3. CNC porting the heads...Necessary or overkill?
4. Diablosport tuner, will I be able to find a plug and play tune for this setup from a tuner around the nation?
5. Stock fuel pump and injectors...Do I need to upgrade the pump to a higher rate and the same with higher cc injectors? Possible to run stock and hope the Intune map will handle it?
I plan on starting this build asap. Any helpful info would be great. Thanks guys!
