Uncontrollable power, wrecks trailer parks.

I would love to see turbo(or supercharger) and stroker dyno charts on the same graph. I'm assuming the turbo does more for power than my stroker.
Every once in a while i think about removing my pistons and having the reliefs cut to a turbo friendly compression ratio. Yeehaw!
I'd like to see that too just for the fun of it. I bet they are pretty close in power but may feel different based on the stroker's power being more linear.
With the 35's and wheels, the power plant doesn't feel anything like a modern sports car, but ramp runs and steep inclines are really fun now rather than a burden.
My gut doesn't trust the stroker/boost idea holding up for my needs and budget, otherwise I'd have that feeling often.
IIRC, Jezza said something to the affect that being around 300 hp with the turbo'd 4.0L was a good combo regarding power and reliability.

If i have forged pistons and rods why not a lil boost?

I'm all for you making something awesome and doing what makes you happy. I just don't want to see it grenade on you.

Wait - I have forged pistons, rods and crank. Hmmmmmm….
I'm about to start testing this very question. I bought a completely stock 1997 TJ with the 4.0 with the goal of testing some different mods from bolt-ons to tunes and all the way to cam and shaving the head. I'll probably start a thread soon as I gear up to start.

What is your compression ratio?

Really good for Brule but that really sucks for the rest of us.
Never fast, but certainly quick!
Edit: Joking aside... 5.13 for 33s? For a wheeler sure, but not a street truck...
Why not? With his transmission he would be at about 2830rpm at 75mph pushing 33s. That still isn't enough rpm for the highway.
The Grimjeeper charts and folks' collective experience say otherwise.
5.13s at a minimum w/ 33s (with a 42RLE).
