On a side note, technically wasn't Performance Motorsport the first in the four digits? They had something like 1500 hp two years ago and that was still a VQ35 I believe.

I see the custom main girdle was necessary for the stroker kit? I'm guessing there really wouldn't be a noticable advantage in using this on a stock bore motor. Thoughts?

With the VQ being a V style motor, if I was looking for big power or high revs I would use the girdle even on a stock displacement to help keep the crank securely mounted in place.
On the stroker it is definitely a good idea as well for clearancing reasons. Not only is the girdle better than stock, but the stroker stock girdle takes one step backwards when you have to cut it down.

For what it's worth, both kits seem to be very nice. And pricing is on par for both (give or take a few hundred bucks).
At this point it's down to preference considering both kits have produced numbers north of 800whp...

It makes me cringe whenever I see the term "drop-in" used when referring to a stroker kit. No one who is planning on stroking there motor should expect it to be "drop-in." If it is a stroker kit worth doing there will be machining involved. Adam always tells me you can't put 20lbs of $hit in a 5lb bag.

This information could not be less acurate if you tried..The Machine costs of our "drop in " Brian Crower 3.8 liter stroker was over $2700. There is tons of machine work needed, especially on the 4.1 L stroke..There is no such thing as a "drop in" stroker..
