+2 on the intake. My l92 intake is even choking down my setup 50+ fewer cubes.

N/a stroker and budget really don't go together... Unless the word 'big' is in front of budget...

Stick with the stock bore and a 4" stroke that will be more reliable, better stability and last longer. The extra cubes is not worth it IMO.
back to this... i havent had any problems but do yall think i might have problems after a while with it overheating or anything? someone told me that my cylinderwalls might be too thin and might cause over heating

dont let the l92 truck intake fool ya, i ran it over a year and put down some decent numbers 440+ to the wheels i would lease give it a try, but then again that was on a stock 6 liter short block lol that 429CI is gonna need a intake to move lots of air

yea it is alot cheaper but ive also read on alot of places that the elbows cause alot of air restriction..

and yea its runnin ok with the l92 intake but if theres a easy way to get more power just by changin the intake .. then im all for it

No overheating problems, but oil burning problems will surely not be too far away with how long of a crank youre running. Motors with that long of a stroke are known for having oil drinking issues, I know this all too well from personal experience.
