So does anyone know how much the pistons weigh? I'd be nice to see the stock piston weight along with the old stroker motor and the new ones.

Custom 2.0L 88mm race pistons - 340 grams
AMS 2.3RR pistons -261 grams
The wrist pin is also 10 grams lighter (it's shorter).

Very cool.

Any valvetrain upgrades included in this package? Also, would lighter (i.e. hollow) camshafts be of some benefit?

Those sound like the Mahle pistons.

any updates/pricing? I'm very interested to see how this engine works out, I know it's still in the testing stages but if i'm going to buy a stroker kit, i'd like to go with this one!

What is the longevity of a 2.3 Vs. an OEM block? Is their any type of support like if it goes after a few K? How are the tolerances of that of OEM manufacturing?
