OK so question. When I get my motor (whenever that may be) I'd like to do a 331 stroker. Curious if the TFS top end kit w/ 170cc heads would be suffice? Or should I just piece the top end kit together and get a cam that would be ideal for the rest of the components? I was looking to get a supercharger running around 8 lbs as well.

Not dead set on the TFS top end kit would love dart set up but then price goes up.


Other question beside dart blocks are there any other aftermarket blocks that are reasonable? I'd like to get to 350-400ish and stay there safely but we all know that won't happen lol always want more juice so do it right the first time

Big intake
Big heads
Big cam

Strokers like to breath!!!

TFS top end kit is perfect for a 302

That's just my opinion

Good luck on the build [burnout]

Forced induction is forgiving with smaller heads etc. Either way, choose a cam for the heads....More power can be made with other components. All depends on your budget.

I'm not dead set on forced induction just a possibility but honestly I'd end up going n/a

200cc be too big or just enough?

Otherwise I'd go 351w with a nice top end kit lol

Don't get me wrong the TFS top end kit is a really good kit but there are better combos for just a tiny bit more money possibly less.

I would do ported TFS-R intake and ported TFS heads, upgraded valve springs, custom cam. It would rip.
