posts # 15 and 17 certainly could be interprited as a verbal attack on someone weather you wanted it to be or not.....you seemed almost back on topic with post #'s 20 and 24, unfortunatly post # 28 brought you back down to farm animal status with the rest of the members......

<<For all the guys who trashed me (not the ones who argued there point)I mean started talking **** I wish you could be here in front of me. It would be a very different conversation.>>
That sounds alot like "You wouldn't say that to my face". If it wasn't a threat, I COMPLETELY mis-read it.

[QUOTE=PIT BULL;2426106] Didn't talk **** about specific engine builders Like Tyler Crockett did. Hey Tyler do you really think NY engine builders suck?? If that's the case I would just like to inform the ones I know of your disposition. QUOTE]
First of all JC is a freind of mine and I also know Richie Zul which I have a lot of respect for because he has been in the engine business for many years. I have only been in business for 26 years and I treat all the engine builders with respect. When I put that little smiley face after my comment that meant I was only joking. So if you don't want to read any of my advice don't and I will not charge you.

If you have a 502 with a 4.000 stroke and a 6.135 connecting rod that figures out to a 1.53 rod ratio with a 19.03 angle on the cylinder wall. On a 540 with a 4.250 stroke and a 6.385 connecting rod that has a 1.50 rod ratio and a 19.44 degree angle on the cylinder wall. How are you getting more friction ??.
I said SAME combination
Does anybody notice the rod size change???

Thanks, My point is efficiency. If the extra friction of the longer stroke is holding it back from being as productive as it should, Why use it? Why not go to a tall deck 557?? And even a dud 540 built properly will last more then 200 hrs with proper maintenance. IM not saying to junk your 540. Just if your deciding to stroke your 502 for under 5500 rpm usage stick with what you have.
The only disavantage I see would be if you had Merc efis and trying to reprogram the ecu on a weird combo maping it.being not having easy acess to a person to program it
