I'm sure people have... but when you can get the GTM SC kit for the same price, it doesn't seem like it's worth the hassle... but that's just me... if you wanted to stay NA that bad, then yeah, maybe.

true but with the stroker kit you'll have a strong built bottem end of the engine which in turn can result for more boost for FI

I want to eventually go this route.. 4.5L then go TT kit. But when it's all said and done that's alot of dough spent in the end. I always compare price of car + $ spent for setup = what (whp or 1/4 ET). Thats just me though. Can it be done in a different platform for cheaper? Do I plan to keep the car til the wheels fall off? These are things I ask myself because when you mod then later decide to sell. You always end up losing out.

Back to the OP topic. I think it can "eventually" be done. More r&d, more parts, and lots of tuning along with track, weather etc etc. Sooner or later someone will fiberglass or carbon fiber alot of parts for some major weight reduction and finally hit it.

Same here, I also plan on doing the 4.5 bore and stroke kit with built heads w/ internals and all that, then get a gtm TT setup. It'll be a while before then though due to the cost of all this

Speaking as a guy who has previously done a stroker kit on an FI motor, I don't know why you would. Internal engine work is expensive and a pain, and the gains are usually relatively small. You may get more durability, you may get less reliability--you don't really know. There aren't exactly a ton of cars running around with that kit, which doesn't provide me with a whole lot of comfort.

If the art pipes fit my stage2 Sc i will put them on before i put the SC on and see if they improve the 1/4 mile times

Dynoed on a Superflo dyno; baseline (unloaded) was 296whp. With LTHs and CBE ONLY, no tune etc, was 326whp (unloaded); so around 30whp gain.

I'll be going back at some point to see what the tune plus drop ins and soon Z1 PMTs give me.

Actully ryan on the re-11's my best 60ft is a 1.81.

For me to run 11.xx i would have to do major weight reduction with a 5 or 6k launch, then maybe if nothing breaks. Truthfully it would take a perfect night,perfect track and perfect driving( which I've got that covered, lol).
