| :adding the stroker kit is probably only about 2-3k more than going with stock displacement, which seems a bit more reasonable. Custom billet crank is 3500, custom rods are 1200, custom pistons = XX, depending on which piston mfg you go with :Any idea what bearings this kit uses? Stock VG30 bearings I should hope they are quite a bit beefier than stock to accommodate the higher piston speed. If it also removes the rod bearing weakness of the vg30 than thats a big check in the pro's column. The geometry of the crank prohibits wider bearings if you plan on keeping a reasonable rod journal fillet radius. Making the rod journal wider decreases the crank material between the main and rod journal, which ultimately will weaken the crank. :Either way, im not forking over for it :) Don't blame you there...
