This is still a work in progress, but the motor is being built by Arnold Hines Racing Engines. Most 4.8 strokers are bored .060 over. He is doing mine with an .030 bore. By doing this it will keep some cylinder wall thickness and hopefully some longevity. On paper he tells me it should make about 415 HP, 450 lb ft. I think those numbers are a little optimistic. The supercharger is from Rick Rimmer. He repurposed the 3.8 v6 supercharger for use on the 4.0 with some custom bracket. These SC units make about 100 HP and 100 lb ft on a stock motor. My guess is that it should make right around 500 each, but those numbers could go either way by 10%.
