HOW RELIABLE ARE STROKER KITS
Been there Built that.
I had the 400cc Warrior stroker kit from Powroll...........its an .080 thou big bore and 4.5mm stroker crank if I remember right.
They ported and polished the head and even documented the gains on a flow bench (the only way to do it right)
.430/.430 lift cam up from the stocker .380/.382, and it totally woke up the motor.
Don't worry about "horsepower gains" its only a number. Yeah you'll be somewhere in the high 20's, if it makes a difference that it might be 28.5, 29.2, or even 30, then what-ever strokes your crank. <Grins>
You'll be able to hang with a beat 400ex's, but don't expect to kick butt on any raptor, predator, or 450 class machine.
The warrior is a great old machine, emphasis on old........
Personally, I'd save the ~$1000 money of doing the engine tear down and stroker build, sell the warrior, and put all the money towards a newer class machine like a predator. You'll be much better off in the long run.
Check out my Profile, and website for more detailed info on the Warrior. Flow Bench head porting data up there too.
