Hey guys, I have been doing a lot of reasearch on strokers and ran across this site. Has anyone ever heard of them? they sound pretty solid but i know to do my home work rather than go off of what it looks.

Never heard of them. I have a Titan Stroker and i am pleased. ive got about 1600 miles on it and no problems. Just went to N. GA to Beasley ****. Had no problems with overheating on the steep hills in 90*+ weather with a/c on. Never had a shortage of power either. Running 75-80 mph i got 18 mpg too!

I have heard good and bad. The good out weighed the bad though. Couldnt beat the price compared to others.

thats good to hear....im planning on a 4.7 stroker with roller rocker and lifters and a hesco aluminium head. Im probably going to go carbureted for ease of wiring. might also have around 12-15 psi of boost. I have not made a final decison on tranny and T/C or my cam set up yet
