Stroker vs. Turbo
- Thread starter Stallion
- Start date
You can make some great power from the turbo, but how much is usable? I would go with stroker and N2O. Both have pros and cons.
I've seen some motor/nos bikes run the 1/8th the past few weeks and their starting to change my opinion...I believe the benefit of the motor is that the power is constant -vs- boost where it starts to build at various rpm ranges...However I also believe that if your aim is top end then it's boost all the way but at the same token that would required motor work also...

Just buy a stroker motor, buy some low comp. pistons, turbo charge it and spray the p!ss out of it as well. Problem solved, right?
Seriously this is a no-win discussion. Some people will swear by turbos, some want all motor, some love spray. I will say that bang for the buck, spray wins hands down.

great question,(i just started to spray,but thats me)
pretty hard to argue with turbo power,but it's just not for me
strokers and hi boost turbo's will eat parts,so will juice if you get greedy
if i had a stack of money(i don't) i would go with a well built 1363 or 1397 with a little juice,and a well sorted chasis,would run mid eight's all day long
how quick are you looking to go ?

If you do either one stroker or turbo you will have to go into the motor. If you build a good low comp. turbo motor with good rods, valve springs, and HD studs it will be reliable. But you will also have some added expense over a stroker since you have to buy a multi stage boost controller. If you build a stroker motor you will spend big money if you decide to do it right because you will need good rods, pistons, cams, crank work, head work ect. plus strokers are known to eat some bearings. If your on a budget and want a reliable motor I would go with a 1397 with a good head (Lee's, Carpenter, Ect.) and a good set of cams (megacycle, Web, ect) and a set of 13:1 JE pistons. You also can't neglect the trans. while you have the motor apart so you might as well go ahead and have it back cut and billet shift shafts put in. To get the most out of any of these set-ups you will also need a good clutch like a multi stage lock up and the suspension set-up right so you get all the power to the ground smoothly.
