The "Cadillac" stroker engine uses a too-short connecting rod with a big end that's not able to accomplish enough offset to make a noticeable change in torque, and pistons that are as scarce as a chicken with lips. Other than that, I guess it's OK. Has anyone actually built one of those engines and dyno tested it? The first stroker I'm planning to build using the Nissan rods and Buick pistons will be a dyno test mule. Yes, I've got a dyno. Then all the theoretical number crunching and pontification will become moot points. One of my competitors on a little quarter mile dirt track in California had a sign on the back of his car- - - - -"When the green flag drops, the BS stops!"
