yes i have found that place. They now sell the kit for 1099 though. Its http://www.carshopinc.com/product_info.php...de4f3f87328b6d7 if anyone else wanted to know. I've also pieced together my own kit for around 950 bux by looking around other sites. And for that 950 you'd get new crank thrust bearings which you wouldn't get in the 1099 kit. But I have read that the 4g64 rods are the same as the 4g63 rods. Please tell me if im wrong here. But they said since you are using the same crank, and the same rods, you're rod ratio will be the same as a 4g64. The difference is the pistons. And yes its a 6mm higher deck on the 4g64 which is why the custom pistons you need have a pin hole 6mm higher then the normal dsm piston would. But i read that since its the same rods and the same crank as used in a 4g64, that the rod ratio is the same for the both of them. I really don't feel like bringing up the links, but I basically have gone to dsmtuners, dsmtalk, rmdsm, and sddsm and searched "2.3 stroker" and this is where I'm getting all my info from. So I'm still stuck on whether to believe the rod ratios are the same or different. Also I don't know if anyone knows Scot Gray from San Diego. But he is currently running the 2.3 setup and he used the kit from that site and supposidly is very happy with it. One of my good Diego friends Sean knows him and told me this. And I guess it's kinda comforting in a way knowing that another well known dsmer went this route and is happy with his results. Also I believe Buschur has been building 2.3's for quite some time with good results. Matter of fact, I think I'll hit up his site and ask him about the whole rod ratio thing. Anyway thank you guys so far for the responces.
