im using a b18a block and b18a crank with a gsr head that has welded quench pads, i have a set of crower rods from a stroker kit. they are 5.512 long, this will give me a rod stroke ratio of 1.58

i have heard good and bad about stroker kits, but what about this setup of just the rods to raise the rod stroke ratio from the dissmal 1.54 stock ls ratio????

Also does anyone know a company that sells off the shelf pistons with raised wrist pin locations to fit in with stroker rods??
