That is an impressive build! You will love the way the Infinity drives.

Any thoughts on going with a taller final drive or larger street tires? Those 245-40-18's and 2.3 will make for some short gearing/tirespin. A 4.3 is a 5% change and 4.11 is a 10% change. A slightly taller gear or tire works well with a stroker.

I would like to change the gears, but at this point I ran out of that green stuff needed to buy everything lol. But I'm hoping to change gearing maybe in the winter when she comes off the road

Nice set up sir! Will be a fun car. I can tell you you won't see 1000hp with that turbo thou, and definitely not on that AR size.

Interesting that you're using an aluminum rod in a 2.3 stroker set up. I don't think I've heard of this before this post. I can't see how you will do this. It won't fit because with the aluminum rod, the big end of the rod is so big you can't really clearance the block for it without removing too much structural integrity from it.

Are you sure you didn't mean that its a 2.0 aluminum rod engine?

A Stroker crank has a long throw. When you combine the throw with the size of big end of an aluminum rod, you'll have to do crazy things to clearance the block. As you know, an aluminum rod is just physically bigger than a comparable steel rod. It needs the added size in order to be strong enough. This means that the amount of material removed from the bottom of each cylinder is going to be huge. I would suggest calling a well-known engine builder like David Buschur and asking him what his thoughts are on this. I have just never heard of anyone doing this and I've been doing this for a long time now.
