The IATs were over 200 at times. I am going to upgrade the intercooler and turbo once I get it broken on. I did 9.5:1 on the stroker. Should help spool and not need as much boost. It has 3" exhaust from the turbo back, but the up-pipe still has the precats. I plan on changing that soon as well. It should be running again on Monday.

Can't wait to see it. What turbo and Intercooler are you planning to use?
The exhaust you just described is what was on it when you dyno'd it, right? Is the pre-turbo exhaust still stock then? I'd love to see a pic of the 3" exhaust where it routes over the rear axle. I had to go down to 2.5" and dent even that to get it to clear at full stuff.
I have a Garrett GT3582 and a Precision PT1000 intercooler I will probably run if I can fit it.
What kinda head is that on the shelf?
What cam did you go with?
Yeah, so I might have purchased a LJ. I'm thinking the plan will be to swap the parts from the TJ build to the LJ with some changes as well. I think I may do a mid-arm and likely a Dana 60 in the rear. I'm still planning on doing the 6R80 and the Atlas so no change there. I do wish I would have waited to swap the engine by a week or two.

The stroker suffered some damage yesterday. I took the Jeep to Northwest OHV for some trail riding and light crawling. I drove it there about an hour and rode trails for another three hours or so. It was running perfectly. Coolant temp and oil pressure were good. Then it started clicking. The clicking turned into a light knock and squeak and finally an all out knock. Now it doesn't even really want to idle. I snatched it up with the trailer and towed it home. I'm going to pull the pan tomorrow, but the damage seems evident.

Noooooooo!! That obviously doesn't sound good. Who did the bottom end assembly? What kind of oil pressure does it have after the nose started?
