Concillian: That is some killer info! You are very appreciated! Now that I have read through your info and (yet again) looked at some 2.1L stroker threads I feel like I don't want to try and get another block and deal with porting the heads.
Which narrows down my options:
2.0L shortblock
2.0L built motor
2.1 stroker
My next question would be what is the average life span of 2.1 stroker?
Also what would be a solid Engine management system to use for a 2.1, any favorites out there?
I have not laid out my goals at all either so here it goes:
-Daily Driver [longevity, reliability, etc.]
-250hp-300hp
-maintain stock turbo [cost reasons/ wait until it goes to upgrade]
-would like to raise the PSI on it
-low end torque and quick spool [because BOOST IS THE BEST FEELING EVER]
Let me know If I need to get more in depth.
Also should I snag an air pump delete for kicks?
