Mark,
Why didn't you just tell him it would have about 10 cc more POP?
Or say it would run better in bad air?

Adger, We don't do Stockers on a silver platter here. LOL . Ya have to learn to find this stuff on your own.

And you make sure you stop that, too.

Thanks guys--you pitch hard and fast and I truly appreciate the help and valuable information you have to offer. Mark wants me to get down on the books and I can understand that and Adger baled me out. It's all good . Ron offers info on sb combos and Alan gave me more choices that I did have to go back to the books. I am leaning towards a 402/375 stick combo but not written in stone because some of the SB combos are interesting. I am not here to nor will I reinvent the wheel but would like to do as much as possible myself rather than write a check for a motor that would be like a black box. I want to know what makes it perform the way it does. Thanks again --talk soon----------John

That 402 is a good combo. You need to be sure to read the blueprint specs on it real close. It has some numbers that are a little different, too. ;~) OK Mark and Alan... I didn't spill the beans on this one... HA!

John,
Even if you want to build it yourself, you need to establish a relationship with a good builder, so that you get good parts, and don't waste your time and money doing it wrong. The learning curve in Stock is STEEP and real mistakes get extremely expensive and frustrating. Stock Eliminator stuff absolutely cannot be taken just anywhere. It has to be done by machinists that know exactly what they're doing, the attention to every minute detail is what makes the difference between a good piece and a slug that will not stay together.

Ditto, Alan.. good advice... there are plenty of good ones all over the country, he just needs to find one in his area willing to spill their guts and humor him thru his learning curve
