long rods and stroker cranks are 2 way different things. Stroker cranks give your low end & mid range torque (lots of it), while a long rod will just give you a lil' bit more torque and more reliability with your piston wear......

well that would just be a normal 4mm with longer rods.....would make a great play motor.....all around power.

ok so if i want to install this longrod stroker crank what is the best compaination to use with it .... is it the stock banshee pistons with spacer plate under the cylenders or to use the new wiseco pistons 795 series

Better to use the pistons than the spacer plate. I use the hyperlites my self. Don't bother with contemplating a LR crank if you're not already ported and carbed though. it'd really be a waste of money without "needing" it. You will need it if you're running silly high compression, big bore, super high RPM, alcohol, etc..... if you're seriously looking at a stroker motor, you need to do the whole thing to see any benefit out of it.
