What type of hp and tq gains would you expect after installing this 11.5k stroker kit? What other work would need to be done on the engine (timing, feul, ect...?

Sorry, but f*** that is a lot of money, lol. No way in h*** will that happen for me, even if/when I have the money. Will just look into rods, lol.

Wow, that amount of money is amazing, especially when you can get the parts separate from others for a fraction of the price. I have to assume that other kits will come out to compete with this crazy price.

I have *TONS* of info on the JUN car, Stroker Kits, and High boost Head gaskets. What was used, what worked, what didn't work, etc... But since my posts are seen as advertisment by the Mods I can not talk about it....sorry

Gotta agree with little_rod here... $11.5K for crank, rods, and pistons is just stooooopid. That's almost half the cost of owning another Z!

If they really expect to sell these kits, the price will have to be more reasonable and on par with similar kits available for other cards. I'm guessing the stroker kits will have to be about half that price ($6K-$7,000ish) to actually sell.

edit
BTW, at 6-7K, you could bet your butt my Z would have a good chance of becoming a 380Z or 400Z sometime toward summer next year.

I cannot fathom how or why anyone would do this to their car...at best you'll get maybe 50 hp. And the fact that its 11k is honestly retarded....but I guess there is a market for anything.

At that kind of price level, especially for the guy who bought a track model, an early 90's 911 Turbo would be a far better choice

God, I still can't believe this price. That is absolutely ammmmmmazing. If anyone spends $11.5K on this kit, they need to adopt me.

Heck, duck, you said $6-7K, heck, I wouldn't even spend that much, lol.

Kyle, Glad to see you and the Crew from SGPRacing are following up with the 350 after all your journeys with the TT 300ZX's.

I talked to TODA today and it looks like JUN is the only game in town for a stroker kit. TODA says they do not plan to develope anything for the 350Z except a flywheel due out in 3 months. Maybe with a little more time we can get lucky

l_r... if I go this route, it will be in conjunction with or a stepping stone to adding a SC as well.

Can you imagine a 3.8L or 4.0L VQ with the new Vortech or DWs SC! Kick @SS!!!!

Hey... anybody know where I can get a 400Z emblem...

nonmature,

do you have a shot from the rear?

A picture in Option Mag taken of the rear underside of the car shows that they added a rear diffuser. Unfortunately, the picture does not give a full view of it.

thanks
