JP mag n 505 Performance are building a 5.0 stroker turbo engine. Early dyno is showing 558 HP. That is amazing. Check it out.

Was hoping for the article instead of 505's site. . .

They probly will make around 320-350 tops.

That'll be before the turbo. . .

It takes a while to get your first issue. Just got mine, took a little over a month. It's worth the wait since wal-mart don't carry it anymore.

At least we have an update and conclusion to Golen's "insane inline" 4.6 stroker project after they had to replace the cam. Here it is:

I've had 3 or 4 comp cams and only one failed, but the reason is undetermined.. don't know if their was their fault or the engine's . All the cam companies use the same cam core for the 4.0L, how each company treats the cam is different though. I don't think comp cam is bad though. Use a good cam company (Comp Cam, Lunati, Howard, etc), perform the proper break in, run an oil that has a high level of zddp (search bobistheoilguy.com), and avoid excessive spring pressures, and you shouldn't have a problem.

Wow, cool in concept but almost the cost of 2 brand new engines installed by your local jeep stealer.

1) Its 505 performance... all their stuff is gold plated... like Hesco, but without a good history... 2) Who gets an engine replaced at the dealer? Do they even know how to work on a 4.0L anymore or get parts?

Haha.....so true.

They should considering the 4.0L was still in production up to 2006.

I think that was a joke
