Here is one of my customer cars with a 2.4 stroker. He does have some FP cams, but it's 2.5" i/c piping, 1G TB, unported 2G head, stock 2G TB elbow, 3" off the shelf Apexi downpipe/cat-back. It's a real GT35R with the .82 A/R exhaust housing, no .63 or superchoker Mitsu bolt-on housing. It runs on E85 with some really low ignition timing because the owner doesn't know much about cars and likes to do 150mph highway pulls in 90 degree heat against anything he can find. Back when it was on pump gas making around 400awhp, we switched from HKS 272s to the FPs and really didn't see much difference on that fuel/power level.

We can get over the usual 450-460awhp on a single pump on E85 because of the boost it runs. More boost/fuel pressure, the earlier the pump maxes out. We stopped at that power level because of fuel running out though.


Shane's useless Tip-O-The-Week:

2G heads are the shit. Bigger isn't better(unless you are making 1000whp and reving to 10,500), even if jimbobz on DSMModifierz or some modding guide from 1999 says 1G has to better because it's bigger. How much power does a stock motor/head 2G DSM make with an Evo 3 16G, cams and E85?? The same as an Evo 8 with stock Evo 8 16G turbo, cams and E85, think about that... Evo intake ports are not bigger than 2G ports and they makes the madz powa.

There are downsides to the strokers though. Torque is nice, but it also shreds tranny gears and kills clutches. 8000RPMs ain't gonna be enough to get through the traps in 4th gear if you make some good power.
