No this is not about making more power from the 4.0 if I wanted more power I would go with a 5.0, this is about reliability. Although power gains would be nice, but lifted geared and locked the 4.0 has plenty of power to go around. Any who...
The 4.0 is already a reliable engine. With a stronger kit how much more reliable would it be? I know it'll give tthe engine forged internals. And a bit more power paired with a new cam would see decent gains.
The 4.0 wasn't designed to turn 5k rpms for long periods. How would a stroker affect this. I myself never take it above 4 grand... its just not in the power band and I have more gears.
Seeing as I have a 300k mile 4.0 in the truck. A 90k mile 4.0 in the shed waiting to replace the current one. And a 60k mile 4.0 at the inlaws junk yard waiting for me. And I don't want things to get complicated with a 5.0 that I don't need. Maybe ill do a slow build up of a stroked 4.0
