    04 LS swapped mustang.
    6.0, 243 heads, btr stage 3 twin turbo cam,
    S366 t4 twin turbos, shearer fab upper with Holley low ram intake. Running E85.

    Do I stroke it to a 408 or let it be? This will be a daily driver and probably never see any track time.

    Is it lacking low end torque?

    depends on if you have a girlfriend or not.


    no but seriously for dd purposes i would not, a 4 inch stroke in a ls pulls the piston pretty far out the bottom of the sleeve which makes for short piston life.

    No, it has plenty of low end torque. Guess I'll be leaving it alone. That way I can live long life. Well as long as it can lol with my driving. Thanks guys!
