Ron, how much boost are you planning on running and what is your goal of WHP?

My goal for RWHP is 300-325. The boost will be determined by the amount of compression that they let me know if will have,

If thats all you want, you don't need the kit...... many are doing kit with not even lowering compression.....

with evo s2000. For the $$ its probably better to stay local with a good engine builder like mike simon aebs or import builders. You are gonna get with a worse rod ratio with the feels kit and have to lower the redline. I think the better route would be to get a low compression sleved block made for FI. The feels package is made for N/A. It won't be a 2.3, but a 2.1 FI would be very quick! Plus a 2.1 with a 10k redline sounds much better to me than a 2.3l with a lower redline than stock.

I tell you all the one thing that is turning me off of a stroker kit is the fact that the red line lowers. One of the great and wonderful aspects of this car is the red line. 9k red line puts a on my face.

According to Feels, the redline stays the same. They re-map the ECU to compensate. I do know that if I lower the compression I might have to lower the redline, but that will be fine if I manage to get the car into the 11's. 9000 sounds great, but remember that even ferrari's, and porches can't match that redline.

Where are you all getting all this info..... Unless you can read Japanese, I'm not sure if there are ant translated sources....???
I'm also curious as to why they would decrease the redline?

With a 2.3l storker you are also increasing piston speeds, there by increasing wear and tear.
