| :You could definitely make more peak power with less than $6k ("more bang for your buck") but I don't know of many ways you can make 300 lb-ft at 3250 rpm AND a peak torque of over 700 lb-ft. E85? :The area under the curve is what makes the 3.2 stroker kit so impressive, not peak numbers. You're assuming the stroker is what is causing the impressive curve, without knowing anything about the cams, turbos, head work, fuel used (E85?), etc. I think the tiny displacement increase from the 4mm stroke increase little to do with the curve. E85, on the other hand, spools like mad, and could easily account for the impressive numbers :Also, it may be splitting hairs, but the stock displacement on a VG30DETT is 2.960 L. The JUN is 3.247 L. So really, a 0.287 displacement increase. If you take into account the 89mm bore of the stroker, the 4mm stroke increase by itself only accounts for .15 liters.
At any given rpm, you can expect a 10% increase in power (roughly). I'd attribute maybe 5% at best to the 4mm stroke increase. :All that being said, I agree with you, probably not worth it.
