Sorry for bringing this back up to the surface; but hey, it's a forum. First off, when I was posting that stuff I didn't mean to come off as such a know-it-all. My bad.
Anyways, RobDET, I'm not trying to argue or anything but I'm actually learning alot here and that's why I'm bringing this back up. You said that the gt300 silvias use the 2.2 liter kit. I, by no means, have raced a gt car nor have I worked on one so I'm no expert but don't they have a HP limit? I thought the 300 in GT300 was for a 300HP limit. If this is the case, then just getting to 300HP would be easy and a 2.2 stroker kit would be unecessary. Of course it would be mostly top end I would imagine. This is where the stroker kit would come into play because it would increase the midrange tourque while still complying with the HP limit. So the engine would still have the same 300hp output, but over a greater powerband due to the low HP limit and the fact that it's under-square.
Am I completely wrong with this? If so, then I'd like to know where because I'm trying to learn alot about tuning theory.
