I have a 2000 SC leen that I want to have forged. If i do a stroker kit won't it come with forged pieces also? Would it be better just to do it that way instead of just buying forged pieces. Any know any good places that sell mod kits? Thanks for the info.

The only place I would go to in Norcal would be HCI or Bob Johnson. I would call around and do research on the web to find out what the best stroker kit is and to see if the gains are worth it to you. You might have to do some other mods to take full advantage.

Well when I do the rebuild I am going with a bigger blower and fully port my heads and put in blower cams eventually. HCI does motors and is close?

Do they rebuild it for you or do they have assembled motors.
