    zionsville stroker kit...who's done it

    Title says it. I've read numerous threads about strokers and there doesn't seems to be anyone that has used this kit. People just reference that it is there. So who here has done it with the kit?

    Whats the difference betweed using the kit and parts from an s50? And is what numbers did you get when combined with other mods? 22.5 hp seems kind of weak but for $495 thats cheap.

    Anyone else that has stroked their engines with any other parts please list the exact parts, what engines they are from and everything else. There has been numerous threads on people saying yea throw this and this together and it should work, but input from those that have actually done it and parts used would be great.

    22.5 rwhp would not be weak just for stroking it .3 L. Torque would be an
    important figure too. The hardware is the easy part, there are plenty of posts
    about what is needed, but its the software that I'm wondering about. That
    kit doesn't have any software and I hear AA does but for like 800!?! I might
    stroke it and just use my S50 cams software. Would like more info as well.

    i dont really knoww about the zionsville stroker kit, but AAs stroker did put out a good number. i would assume that if you put m3 cams, intake, exhuast, pullies/... you would probably be very fast

    I was mostly wondering what the difference was between buying the zionsville kit vs s50 crank and connecting rods. Also are there any other different setups that would yield better results when stroking. I know software is going to cost a s**t ton, but i'm not worrying about that...yet

    Tbone what kind of numbers are you laying down with the mods you have now?

    I don't know maybe 200 to the wheels, that would be nice. There's not really much left for me to do, so the stroker kit looks pretty inticing.
