Just checking to see... Posted By: ninetysixer On: 07-04-2008 @ 06:45:39 Reply | Edit If anybody has been crazy enough to get the stoker kits offered by ZZ Performance or COME racing. I searched the forum but nobody had done it as far as I can tell. If anyone has I'm definately curious as to what kind of power you're making. -- '96 Camaro RS.

Bone stock base model and I still love it. Posted By: Fury_786 On: 05-13-2008 @ 08:15:55 Reply | Top | Edit its not really worth the ungodly amount of money and work for the .3L of displacement. --

 Posted By: ninetysixer On: 05-13-2008 @ 14:06:11 Reply | Top | Edit That's kind of how I felt. If it was cheaper I would consider it. -- '96 Camaro RS. Bone stock base model and I still love it. Posted By: goldenphoenix On: 05-13-2008 @ 16:07:20 Reply | Top | Edit Well, one of the reasons that it was knocked off my shopping list when I was purchasing everything to build my engine was that when you install a stroker kit then you no longer have a true 3.8 liter engine. From what Ive seen most of them turn the engine into a 3.9, 4.0 or even 4.1 liter V6 engine.....so then its not really fair to race another 3.8 V6 and get a victory when you dont have the same amount of displacement. At least when I race a LS1 or LS2 its a known fact that I "would" be placed at a disadvantage with my smaller displacement. Another big reason why I cut it from my list of goodies was that I needed a bullet proof engine and that really could not be guaranteed with these aftermarket parts. I heard later that there is a forged and balanced stroker kit out there now for those of us with power adders. -- Why in the world would I ever want to downgrade to a V8?  Posted By: Jeremiah On: 05-13-2008 @ 21:00:10 Reply | Top | Edit Its actually worth every penny if you are going for the ultimate n/a setup. They'll take around 9lbs of boost fairly safely, but I wouldnt throw 15lbs at it like you could do on a stock setup. If I ever have the extra money laying around I'll probably do an n/a project with a stroker setup. -- 2005 GMC 1500HD 6.0L, 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix 1991 Camaro - 24 Hours of LeMons race car.

Posted By: goldenphoenix On: 05-13-2008 @ 22:28:57 Reply | Top | Edit Yeah but saddly the +2 cylinder mod typically means buying a new car. As long as Im buying a new car it might as well be something smooth, quiet and luxurious.......like a Volvo. Oh wait, I already did that!  -- Why in the world would I ever want to downgrade to a V8?

Posted By: ninetysixer On: 05-14-2008 @ 01:11:46 Reply | Top | Edit turbo volvo would be pretty bad a$$! I agree with fury. As for the stroker kit, college kid+mcdonalds job= no money for car mods :-(... I was just curious. -- '96 Camaro RS. Bone stock base model and I still love it. Posted By: jamezruiz On: 05-14-2008 @ 17:17:19 Reply | Top | Edit lol thats true, i too had a job at mc donalds while attending arkansas tech, never really seemed to have money for mods or upgrades --  Posted By: Jeremiah On: 05-16-2008 @ 13:03:05 Reply | Top | Edit I was doing more mods making $8/hr in college than I do now making many many times that amount  -- 2005 GMC 1500HD 6.0L, 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix 1991 Camaro - 24 Hours of LeMons race car.
