after the crap I've been through with PE, I don't want their exhaust on my car anymore. I really liked it too, but I'll be damned if I support a company that has pulled so much absolute BS in terms of cashing a check they promised they wouldn't, then HESITATING to overnight me a refund!

Your evaluation
AEBS stroker kit $7800- Kit BLOWS company sucks That's what I heard.
JUN stroker kit $12000- Expensive as *****. No one in the USA will ever buy this Plus it's from a company that thinks the 350Z is "too high" to be a sports car.
GT Motorsports stroker kit $8900- Not yet proven That's right, we will have to wait and see.
PE stroker kit $7640- Would never buy any of their shi t My customer support has been nill, however, I am happy with my TT kit. Don't think it will be an option, since PE USA can't even get it on the website, doubt if they have the moxie to ever import it.
Brian Crower stroker kit $5260- Engineered like shi t Haven't heard this, what do you base it on?

The piston skirt would hit the crank when at the bottom of its stroke. They werent very impressed with the engineering that went into this kit. I don't take their word gospel but it seems they would have no reason to lie about this.

I don't doubt it, didn't the AEBS kit have basically the same problem?
So off the list, we can eliminate:
The PE Kit (vaporware)
The AEBS kit (junk)
The JUN kit (makes overpriced sound cheep)
The Crower kit (junk)
That leaves:
GTM kit (unproven)
Sure makes decisions easy.

I used an online translator on the PE news page, and this is what it came up with:
It is the VQ3.8L engine which installs the super straw car kit for VQ35. Presently being loaded by the vehicle, it is every day when it is chased in setting. Relationship of the turbo only the strengthening actuator spring and the TH510NZ injector has modified in the twin turbo kit for Z33. Power check is done and it is release schedule.
Best I can make out is that they did the kit, strenghtened the actuator spring in the turbos, and did the PE510cc injectors, they did a power check and are now going to put out a release date.
And this about the pistons:
Product specification of the piston KIT for VQ35 it is in the midst of final endorsement.
From φ95.5 of normal the bore it raises in φ96.0mm.
Measuring the cylinder, after assembling from now on, it tests.
This time adjusting to super straw kirk ranking, it tests in the turbo specification of 3.8L.

If I am not mistaken the AEBS included sleeving the block and assembly. However as stated the few that have used it did not like it or couldn't get it to work.
The GTM looks promising though. I don't recall if $8900 was for the sleeved version or not but it did include installation.

Actually I'm pretty sure Injected Performance has the AEBS stroker kit installed and running on their Z. While I was say AEBS has fallen FAR short of the mark on the Z their products for other cars have been top notch. Paulus (lead engineer) is a really gifted guy but from what I understand Ben Ma (owner) has moved his focus to other endevours and AEBS has suffered as a result...

Injected does have it, but it's only running after many issues that they had to resolve mostly themselves with some help from AEBS.

Jeez, everyone bashes the AEBS stroker but I believe I am still at the top or one of the highest horsepower z's out there. There was only one problem and it took us a day to fix. Yes, AEBS' customer service really sucked because they promised the world and it took 9 months for them to come through. I hear mixed stories if they are still in business. I heard Paulus left and a few other stories from a good friend of Ben Ma's.
We have a stroker kit on the way from Brian Crower and I truly believe this will have all the issues fixed that GT Motorsports had with the first kit that came out. I will be installing it in a short block and testing it before we sell any. So far, Brian has one of the highest customer service of almost any company I have dealt with and we are direct distributors for a couple dozen big companies.

680 DD and 780 Dyno Jet. I am definitely not happy with the numbers and have been trying to get back on the dyno for the past year (pretty sad) while finishing up a couple other cars in between. That is at 23 psi and 40psi pulls will be soon to come now that SEMA is over.
