Which Stroker?

Didn't do a search because...whatever..flame on.

But there's been many more stroker kits since I last looked, so anyone has any reviews of sorts what the differences are?

Im trying to go NA high compression and get around 350 at the wheels. Not trying to go FI at all.

Any tips?

it's for a 04 G coupe.

The Brian Crower kit is very popular. I am considering the same thing, plus there is a guy on my350z that is already building one.

There's a lot to it. Check out Brian Crowers web site... also check out GTM's web site... they have a nice kit too, but it is more expensive.

I'd go with the Brian Crower or Cosworth stroker. . .Z1 is undergoing a high compression n/a vq with the same goals as you. . .check em out at my350. . .

would you still have to worry about problems like blowing your engine or is it more stress free than FI?

The only downside to the BC kit is that it deletes the oil squirters. They supply plugs to replace them, but it does change the oil flow through the engine.

Some poeple say that removing the squirters increases oil pressure for the bearings... I'm not so sure of that, but there is one DD with the BC kit and no squirters and it seems to be doing all right. It's a TT, not NA.

whatever...I enjoy high reving engines without worrying about where my boost is at...or if my vacuum line is screwed up...or if my fuel map is right..or..some other million gadget is going wrong. Plus im probably the only one that thinks 350 at the wheels is more than plenty for anyone on the road. looks like it'll be hard to get 300 at the wheels with just na.

Talk to Sam at GTM. They have a couple kits and can do everything, start to finish.
