Having been in a v cam 2.6, it would be about equal from 3500 ish compared to a 2.8. From the basement you can't hide cubes/stroke.

* very rough figures though.

There will be a comparison between the 2.6/v cam vs 2.8 using exactly the same turbo soon enough.

They are still talking about Stroker Vs 26, they just do not agree. Hit him with your hand bag Joey :domokun:

I think Joey has been in enough different Rs to make an educated statement about strokers Vs 26, just do not get Piggaz started on strokers Vs 26 :woot: ​. Have a look at Piggaz car, stroker and a worked head.

From what I can work out , you like them or you don't , you like to rev them hard or you would rather have your car working earlier. It seems you can do this with both with the right mods, but I would imagine that with extra CCs a stroker has to be a little better.

Cutty, ask a few of these blokes if you can get a run in their cars. From my limited experience Dynos look impressive but until you drive them you do not get the full impact of how the car drives on the "street".

Cheers Pete,

Considering my first reply was a legitimate one, I can't help if people want to reply in that manner.

Anyway, I actually hate this expression but it does ring truth

"There's no replacement for displacement", seems these days more and more people are going stroker kits

For a bloke that has never driven a stroker, you know a lot about the advantages of them, how they drive, blah blah.

Farken 2.6L junk. Bin it.

It has nothing to do with peak power. How can having more low to mid range twist be considered a bad thing?

A 28 is to a 30 what a 26 is to a 28

.... about...... Not rocket science is it. I have driven enough 30s in my time.

My LS2 had twist from idle and a found that as boring as shit, unless burnouts of course.

Mid range twist is for lazy c%&$ who want to brag about how fat their dyno sheets are so they don't have to change gears...... Suggestion...... Get an auto.

You guys are funny.

Can't wait for my TO4z setup to be on the road so I can thrash the f#@k out of it.

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
