So what are your thoughts on the big bore kit?

[DarkBlueSr240]

I now want to build an incredible street strip machine, and I was wondering about big bore kit is it worth it?

[DarkBlueSr240]

sorry but I just saw the price not worth it. sorry for the waste of space.

why is it not worth the price?

You are getting forged pistons darton sleeves, metal headgasket, and head studs....

Pistons ~$450Sleeves ~$400Studs ~$135headgasket ~$150

.2 liters more w/ 9:1 cr all relates to more power and better off throttle response... this combined with more strength is great for that price.

Wait where did you see this at? cause I saw like 5 or 6 thousand dollars.

What you are looking at is called a "Stroker Kit". Changing the stroke of an engine is very different from boring it out.

(Price taken from Phase2) http://www.phase2motortrend.comStroke Kit $4,495.00 HKS 2.2 Stroke Kit

Bore Kit $499.95 CP Pistons 87mm $499.95 HKS Sleeve $125.00 ARP Headstud Kit $210.00 APEX'i Headgasket $369.00 Eagle Rods (not required, but recommended) $200.00 PE F1 Rod Bearings $280.00 PE F1 Crank Bearings------------------------------------------------------Total $2183.90

This is just to give you an idea. Then remember you need to find a good shop to do your work. Don't cheap out on labor, you'll pay for it later.

First you need to set a goal on the level of performance you want to achieve.(mild, wild, all out) The higher you set your goal, the more you will spend.
