340 stroker motor
Hi all, I'm a newbie. I wanted to ask you guys for your thoughts. I have a 340 stroked to 416 with X heads ported and polished with 208 intakes and ported and polished intake manifold. I am also going to use the factory thermoquad which has been buit to cam specs of 242/250@50. Some people are telling me that wont be enough carb due to the small primaries. HELP!

Even at idle? I'm not sure what you mean by that.

Re: 340 stroker motor
What I meant was with small primaries perhaps there might be a sputtering or rough idle? I'm hoping to get 470 plus horsepower at the crank. Is that unrealistic?

Re: 340 stroker motor
How is your idle circuit in the carb being affected by the primary's ????

Re: 340 stroker motor
I have had a TQ on both my 340 & 360 strokers. No issues at all with the idle circuit.

Re: 340 stroker motor
Hey Buddy, consider that Chrysler used the same thermobogger on 440s too.24 inches larger than your stroker.
Don't worry you will be fine

Re: 340 stroker motor
Good point Tom. However, a 440 only has 375 hp.
