stroking your motor? Was 95.5 Crank?

>I have no answer to your question but have a question for you.
>What do you intend to gain from a longer stroke crank?

I was hoping that I could compensate for the loss of the bottom, and open up 
the head a little more I guess... I was just checking out my options at this 
point...

I want everything... of course everyone wants to be able to build an engine 
that can do everything, but I know this is impossible. Yes I would like to 
have a little more torque, but I was hoping that with the Knife edging 
(essentially taking weight off of the crank to allow less energy to be 
stored, and allow it to be turned into forward motion) I wouldn't lose some 
excelleration also in the process, and also RPM's at the top...

>Is this going in a 16v?

Yes this is going to be a 16v motor...

once again I was hoping that the lightening of the crank would help to allow 
it to still climb up to a decent RPM.

I'm basing this information completely on what the Autotech guys have done 
with their stroker kit, but I believe that they have stayed with the 
original 144mm connecting rods with no swap in pins either...

Thanks Jason I appreciate your 2 pence...
