This is all dependent on the turbos you pick and the size stroker you go with. A big advantage of not going bigger than 4.0L is that you get to have stock bore size. One of the downsides of the 4.5L is the larger rotating mass which requires a special cometic head gasket. A plus side is the car has a lot more torque and acts more like a hi revving v8.

I see, so sticking with the stock block would be a smarter idea if you're not really looking to fabricate. It'd be better to stick with that 3.7 block and just build from there. What do you think is a good idea for crank if I stick with the stock block?

Not sure, do you have any idea how much pounds of boost the FI Stage 3 kit will go at max? I'm pretty sure I'm not going to reach that max limit anyways, just curious. I'm looking to reach 1000hp and above, reliably.

Do some researching on guys who have built some crazy Z with stroker kits. You definitely have the funds are great, and once you get that beast up and running you will want more power. Like Cosmo said how much money you have to spend will determine how much power you will make.

I'm looking for 1000hp, and I'll definitely do some research on people who have previously purchased the stroker kit and I'll see what they've come out with.
