Super Chevy – September 2019

TECH PUMP GAS PUSH

In addition to the forged

stroker crank, K1 also

supplied a set of 6.125-

inch, 4340 forged steel

connecting rods (PN

012AE25613). The shot-

peened rods came with

premium bronze wristpin

bushings and ARP 2000

fasteners.

To help keep the static compression to

a blower-friendly 8.6:1, each JE forged

stroker piston (PN 326374) featured a

generous 29.9cc dish. The unique profile,

called a donut dish, reminded us of the

newer LT-style pistons used for direct

injection.

After gapping the JE rings, we combined

the pistons, pins, and connecting rods.

Using an adjustable ring compressor

from Summit Racing, we installed each

piston/rod assembly into their respective

bores.

8

To ensure plenty of power, we

installed a custom Comp cam that

offered a 0.647/0.627-inch lift split,

a 235/244-degree duration split, and

a 115+4-degree LSA.
