- NJSPeeder; yea i was thinkin about that too, i know JSPerformance is on here, i wonder if he read this post b/c i like to hear his $.02.
i was just thinking: i kno the stroker kit is about $2.5K- $3K, the L92 "top end package" is between $1.5K - $2.5K. Then i'm thinking installation labor, machine shop labor. I also thinking about how good my current block is b/c i do have some piston slap and it has 84K miles on it as of now. The new crate is $8.5K, tested and with a warrenty...so i dunno...
Im not tryin to build a race motor, i just want somthing that can keep up w/ a Z06 and with the next Gen of Camaro's. It will see some track time. I love my car, and dont plan to ever get rid of it, so i want to make sure it can keep up with new sports cars and make it hella fun to drive and sound like a mean bitch!

Most aluminum blocks have steel sleeves in every cylinder to provide longevity. That way the piston rings don't ride on aluminum, etc. If you do decide on a crate motor, I have one major piece of advice for you: Read every single line of the warranty. People have false impressions of what is covered and what is not covered, and how to make a claim. Do
NOT assume that if you break something that it will be repaired for free.
