Hey Everyone. Quick update. As I mentioned we are still in the waiting for the first sets to come back. Given the mishap with JE. I have switched over to diamond pistons. Both the Pistons and Rods will have dedicated part numbers and will be available with repeatable specs.
As for the request on the Stroker kits. Honestly, I don't think it will be needed. Even with increasing the stroke 1 whole liter we will only see a real world gain of about 50-75ftlbs of peak torque. While yes that seems like a lot it really isnt.
For example. My racing VQ motor for my nissan we went from 3.7L to 4.5L (Increasing bore and stroke). What we found that while yes we did gain power it came at a cost. for one the heads weren't designed for it. secondly, we incurred more heat. Thirdly it was a slower revving motor.
Now the Pentastar is not a fast revving motor and only has a ~6k redline and in the performance v6 world thats LOW. Typically we are in the 7500 - 8500rpm range. My focus is a solid rotating assembly and from there we can push the limits of the current kits on the market.
Honestly, I thought about making a turbo kit for this platform but given the damage done by (company that shall not be named) I have shy'd away from it. I expect to have rods and pistons in hand some time in late april.

I have a Magnuson tune that can definitely exploit these components.

Once you guys have it perfected, let us idiots know the cost.

Good gouge. Upping the displacement probably isnt worth it when you just sustain he extra boost, so great point.
I cant imagine this thing wouldnt take 7,000rpm easily enough, which i feel would be adequate? It would give you that extra little bit to pass in the lower gear.

Talked to my diamond rep today. Will have the Pistons by next week. The pistons are done and we are waiting on the pins to arrive for final inspections. The pins have been upgraded to tool steel and DLC coated.
Super excited. These will be available for purchase along with the rods when they come in. The rod and piston combo is rated for 800-900whp+ power levels. That means for 99% of users this will be bulletproof and overkill.

Well i have worked on SC tunes for several 2021 Gladiators and they seem to be capable of producing more boost easily. I am having to work at backing it down.

Given the superchargers on the market I am not surprised. If you have anyone that wants to test some rods and pistons let me know.
