3.8l Stroker kit??

Post by rjd520 »

Well my motor is finally done after 176k miles on my 2011 rubi , yes i know i drive a lot, i was thinking about doing a stroker motor for rubi instead of hemi swap, So i was wondering which kit is a good kit? I was thinking getting the 3.8l stroker kit from 505 performance getting the whole complete engine ?? I was also thinking about throwing a magnuson charger on it as well so any thoughts and suggestions would be great appreciated

I don't think so, hesco makes a kit but then you have to find a good engine shop to build it for you where 505 performance makes a complete engine 4750 plus 500 core charge so was thinking going that route but want to just cover all my bases and see if there is anything better out there

I recommend searching on here and other forums for 505's screw ups.

I'd suggest you get the Hesco stroker kit and find a competent engine builder who'll rebuild your engine.

Then, if you're still not happy with the power output, you could supercharge your stroker to add even more power.
