How much do you think something like this will cost? Start to finish incl. labor???

I bet your still drooling over the stroker kit info. that JPI posted months ago.Yea, that's still has been on my mind I wonder if anyone ordered one. I happy to See Lextreme is seriouly thinking about it.
The parts price was not too awful considering the internals would be beefed up (crank,rod and piston) it's the labor tearing the engine apart and putting it back in the car. thats what practically doubled the price Stroking.

If you can do some of the labor or have connections it would make a big difference.

Although it seems like a lot of work for a hp gain nearly achieveble with bolt-ons, it would be interesting. Give it a whirl, man!

We just finish a 5.2L. Now I need to sell my other car. I have too many and wife is not too happen about it. I think 12:1 with stroked lower end will be very fun on the street.

Hope it turns out just don't be surprised if it costs more than originally planned.

why not get a gs400 and just swap the 1uz from it into the LS while also swapping the 5.2 into the gs? and then dump the LS with a 1uz with super low mileage!
