Let me just chime in here as a former boost junkie. If you want 300whp repeat after me, JBAC, Just Buy A Corvette. You get 300whp right off the bat with any C5 with no hassle of finicky aftermarket parts and torque in spades. Sure, it weighs a bit more than and S2K but makes up for that in other ways. Nothing beats normally aspirated power delivery from raw cubic inches and the amount of money you would spend buying and S2K and boosting it will put your ass in a factory produced reliable 405 hp 400ft-lbs of torque machine,
just talk to Mark Barnes and save yourself a bunch of hassle and headache. You can thank me later.
That version doesn't do it for me and I don't want a corvette.
Have you driven a C5Z06? I simply can't imagine someone driving one and not wanting one, badly. I looked at the S/C kit your talking about and the stroker as well, it does appear that the S/C kits have come a ways since I looked before, they are working some tuning magic to push that much boost through an 11:1 compression ratio motor, but your still waiting until 5000 rpm to get 200wtq and it peaks at 236, regardless a 350whp S2000 is going to be stinking fast for sure. How well does the rest of the drivetrain hold up? I thought the rear end was a weak link in an S2K. Oh and you realize that a stroker kit isn't exactly a bolt on correct?
It is impressive they can stroke a 2.0 to 2.7 and make it work, that's a huge percentage increase. Regardless, in either case your talking at least $6K above and beyond the purchase price of the car and therefor likely very close to the asking price of Mark's Z06.
Marcus, you helped out with my car some and gave me that sponge bath in the hospital, so your entitled to a fun run or two, you should probably take me up on that before you spend $6K boosting or stroking your S2K. Did I mention it starts making 350wtq at 3000 rpm and
increases from there?

Let me know if this isn't a good assumption.
