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.
You guys forgot the recently released HKS 3.8 stroker kit. Dont know the price on it( definatley $$$ ) but judging by the quality of their other products, it should be a decent kit.

One thing that I find suprising is that many seem to have the common rebuttle of "sleeve and bore it out to get 3.8". While this is true, if I am not correct stroking offers more effecient power gains over boring. Just something to look at. However, the cost difference between boring and storking is quite a difference.

stroking adds torque, but you get into issues if you want to rev it high with high piston speeds.

You are right about that also. I know that GTM uses their lightened rods and pistons to help accomodate for the increased piston velocities.

Yes, I did forget this kit. Sorry. I do know about it. It is not listed on the website, and I cannot find the post I saw on another fourm, nor can I find one here.

What I remember:

High price.
Rods are the same weight as stock.

Again, I am sure this is high quality, same as JUN, but unless you are given one by HKS, who is going to buy it?

Of course, someone will, someone buys ARC stuff after all.

Revised list:
The PE Kit (vaporware so far, high price, unproven)
The HKS kit (not on website, high price, unproven)
The AEBS kit (Injected Performance using, may no longer be available)
The JUN kit (makes overpriced sound cheep)
The Crower kit (junk - first look - waiting for new evaluation)
GTM kit (unproven - could be good value for money purchased assembled)

Is that about right?
