Jeep Strokers

Just got the Nov JP magazine, They have a short article on their new "Insane inline" They claim they dynoed it @ 558hp Turbo, 30 lbs of boost.
the article reads like a ad for 505 performance.

They claim 298 CFM of flow with a 2" intake valve. The cam looks pretty mild and really not that much lift.

It would be great if you could buy a 500 hp crate engine. Lots of details missing

Those numbers don't even seem right. That much boost should generate a bit more HP than that!

Did anyone else notice their comment about rocker arm ratio?

Could anyone scan this article and send it? I live in Europe, though I have no possibility to buy one...

Gee, lets see, 5K for a turbo kit, $2,500.00 for a stroker kit, 1 head with chevy valves ported and polished $1,500.00, Rockers $600.00 Aftermarket ECu system $2,000.00, dyno tuning $1,000.00, various machine work, gaskets etc $1,500.00, special cam and lifters $1,500.00 Etc. So for the small price of about $15,000 you can have one of these too.

I don't think Turbo Tom spent even half that.

They should call this the special 505 edition of JP, they have another article in the mag on a turbo for the 4 banger.

What's the deal with 505 anyways? They made a brief appearance a while back and then..nothing.....

We ask questions and they don't answer. Then they end up in JP with this outlandish build.

Sounds fishy to me...

30lbs should make 750hp.
I made 450hp at 13lbs @ $2500. on 4.0 liters
Flat tappet cam, stock rockers and push rods

Some body want to give me $6000 or my engine and ECU?????

Tom,

What transmission are you using? 998? 727?

904 Tranny

Got some info on the dyno numbers, 19 lbs of boost, hp in the 675-700hp range and a little more than 750ftlbs of torque. I, looking foward to the next issue where hopefully we will get more details of the build.

whats you address pm me and ill have my wife scan it into the computer and mail you or email you a copy your pick.

Sounds like I better turn the boost up!!

So you keep it at 10#s to be on the safe side, but had it at 13# at one time?
