so i was looking around and found this site:
http://www.vtengines.com/marauder.html
the most interseting part is that they say they got 300 to the wheels before the 'charger and it was easy. can the dream be accomplished?

oh, and has anyone screwed around with the internals of the engine? different cams, rods, etc.?

I'd expect a little more coming from a stroker and a charger... No price tag either... I know SHM is the only other one offering a stroker kit, and that's to make it a 5.2L. I'd be curious as to what they want for all this...

The stroker kit alone cost $3,600+. So you are probably looking at $8,000 - $11,000.

And you can get this package at a L/M dealership?

I think their dyno numbers are off, they are either being conservative, or their programming stinks... 430 with a stroker and a blower (especially with 12 lbs) isn't high enough... Without a stroker I am around those same numbers.

They did drop the compression, that could be part of the reason the numbers are low.

Yes, but with 12 lbs of boost they should more than make up for the lowered compression... I am running around 7 lbs.

OK, from what I have heard recently, these guys are straight up, and they are just being conservative with their numbers... so who's going to be the first to take the plunge and stroke and blow their car?

Is that from the supercharger, or placed in the driver's seat?
