I'm starting to get my engine back together and have 2 questios.

1. Do you guys with strokers have any problems keeping them cool? I have a aux. oil cooler is that enough?

2. Should I go to a 16t front spocket?

Thanx for the advice,
Drummer

An alky conversion will keep it cool. And in most places, alcohol is cheaper than race gas.

But then you have to deal with flushing the alky out after every ride, or it will eat your gaskets!
