Head work and 1.7 roller rockers it is!

Guess I should reach out to Russ.

The fear of nitrous in this thread is baffling, as is the suggestion of a dry kit in a speed density application. SMH.

The head is the weak link on almost all stroker builds.

The head is weak in 4.0L builds, but in reality they are more than adequate in a Jeep that doesn't rev over 4800 rpm and lasts 2-300k+ miles.
Racers, Street queens and Mall crawlers might want more rpm power range.

The 4.0L HO head (especially from '91-'99) isn't bad at all and flows surprisingly well when ported. However that ported head needs a higher-flowing intake manifold and a bigger cam to extract that performance potential.

Instead of shakin your head why not explain why you think the dry kit is no good in a speed density application? Share your knowledge with us Ryan.
Just so you know, the dry kit was specifically designed to be used in cars utilizing speed density applications.
