Lol, I was looking on GTM's site on their stroker motors. They had long blocks available installed for a bit under 10k. They had an option for high compression too. They said it was for the VHR, but the description was all VQ35DE. I also saw an option to just buy everything needed for it, but that still entails a lot of work to the block (boring, balancing etc) Something like that, you just can't click add to cart button and have the full solution.

What really peaked my interest was when they said it's rated up to 600hp NA, but again, it was vague and saw no proof. I do agree that turbo's are the easiest and cost effective way to make a bunch of power. It would still be pretty damn awesome to be pushing 400+ whp without snails. Oh, good idea fairy appeared. JUN cams on a bored out stroker motor. If it's torn apart, would it be that much more to implement? And I can keep my existing parts. So many choices. Luckily I have plenty of time to figure out the way ahead.

Edit: I think I'm going to PM GTM on the gazillion options that they have. I may be shooting past the moon with this one lol.
