Help with 392 stroker combination
 
I have finally decided which direction to go on my pony. Instead of a blown small block combo, I am going with a stroker 392/393. 500hp and TKOII with 3.55s will make me happy. I plan, for now, on the FRPP 392 shortblock with AFR 185 heads. I still kepping coast highperf in mind though. I'm not settled on a cam yet (looking for suggestions and experiences).
My question is this:
I would like to use a truck lower with a downs upper and a 70mm TB will this hurt torque on a na combo? Or is the torque loss of a short runner intake acceptable due to the extra inherent torque of a 351W stroker. It will still be a while until I undertake the engine as I'm doing the platform items first (upgraded rear-end, suspention, brakes, roll cage etc).

i don't think your going to get too many answers in here as we tend to deal mainly with only 281 CI. :)(extra small blocks) may want to try the Windsor forum they can give excellent advise:)

I just had a 408C stroker built. It Dynoed at 537hp @6300 rpm. I'm running a cam with 244@.50 and 6.23 lift. 108 lobe separation. It's got 11-1 compression. I running a Torker intake and 800 cfm double pumper. The torgue of a stroker is fantastic. This is a street motor in a 70 Mach 1 show car. If this was a race car we could have gotten over 600 hp maybe even 650. RAY
