I think the 2.3 was a good decision David...the graph really shows you what the butt dyno may not detect.

This is the exact setup that I want for my MR nice tune. I like how the extra torque and hp come a little sooner with the help of the stroker. Might be a silly question. But was a stroker kit used or a 2.3 block.

Oh ok thanks. Just trying to figure out if there is any true benfit to having the 2.3 block compared to the kit other than the fact that its already bored..

Well sorta. For example he went with a 2.3 Kit, and buschur sells a 2.3 liter short block. Would there be any benefits to getting that compared to the kit?

Dave, very nice, esp the torque. I met Doug (Xtreme) the other day and he told me you are looking to get into track days, etc. I just finished the HPDE at NSS this weekend and what a rip. I learned a lot about driving and the EVO, PM me and we can talk, right hand is non functional at the moment and typing is hard
