It sure looks sweet though don't get me wrong. How about a 5.6 stroker kit with just a regular forged steel crank, comparable to oem quality, using good quality steel rods, maybe comparable to the early Lexus LS 400 OEM rods. And finally a set of good quality o/s pistons. Show some good results on a dyno, make it a kit and price it between $2000-$3000 and you will sell a few. At $7800 you won't sell many. For that kind of cash you could build a turbo system and make more torque and hp than the stroked motor anyway.

I've sold a number of these so far, however it should be said that I deal with the MKIV Supra more than any other model. Making a so-so kit isn't really my thing, so maybe someone else could step up.
Thanks man,
