that's cool, they're great cars!

no problems with it at all...I love it...i'm the 2nd owner and have had it since 01.......it has 133,000 miles on original motor and tranny...I did install an aftermarket cam (sounds pretty good too).....I did some minor port work on the heads with a valve job......along with some headers and a smaller supercharger pulley to put out some more boost.....the cam and all has been in/on for about 40K....even with all that done, I don't hesitate to drive it on a few hour trip somewheres....it's been a great/reliable daily driver car.....the only thing that's gone out so far is the waterpump....big whoop huh?.....it should pull some high 12's in the 1/4 mile if I get some decent traction....you can check out my cardomain pg for some pics of it....it's been my baby if you can't tell by how I can't shut up about it....sorry?

here's a video so you/ya'll can hear the cam and stuff.....nice little burnout in there too!

Ryan great Video....enjoyed. Amazing what a 3.8 can do. Stock that engine was about 260 hp, now with a cam and more boost....has to be pushing 300 hp????
I have looked at the new GXP's, LS4, 5.3 L, 304 hp..... but 30 grand is bit much though...
I just hijacked my own thread

Default Best Place to buy Stroker Kits??

OK lets see if we can get back on track.....

Where is the best place to buy either an Eagke or Scat Rotating assembly?
Prices is important, but service and shipping costs are important also...

with just the cam they've squeezed over 300hp...and i believe 340ish with an innercooler.....they're pretty powerful little motors...

this is where I bought my kit from, but do remember you'll have to clearance the rods....if you call them, I bet they can piece together a kit for you with the correct rods for clearance.....I believe they say that in a magazine of thiers I have......it's a good price on the kit!....


I imagine others can chime in to see who else sells the kits....summit and jegs sells eagle....jegs doesn't sell a scat rotating assembly.....
