Lindsey MAF, mafterburner, dual port, steam relief kit, MBC, uego wbo2, 3 bar fpr, 3" exhaust, 55 lb injectors, 951max chips, and probably a few other things I cant remember off the top of my head. I was thinking I would do 72 lb injectors, and racing fuel pump.

It's allot of cost, stick with your 2.5 and use the money elsewhere...

Yeah its not cheap. But if I gain significant power could be worth it.

Use that money elsewhere, you can gain more power for less $$$

of course this is only my opinion.


Have you already purchased a good wideband and etc? The cost of a stroker would be a good chunk of change to spend on some nice electronics.

What are you doing for your clutch?

oh ok... just saw that.


well why not sleeve and bore instead?

Then you get more displacement and nice tough steel cylinders.

Stroking seems like it would be much more reliable, even with sleeves.

I think your time would be better spent in search with people that have actually done this before. You can find dyno results with bore vs. stroke, different turbos, etc.

Well not sure what more to do. What more bolt-ons could I add?

Correct me if Im wrong, but the 2.5 walls are somewhat thin anyway. Wouldnt boring them lead to head lift? Causing HG failure?
