Even a stroker would not net you gains like this especially since you would be limiting how high you could rev unlike this setup. And not saying I could do this but this is not something that ONLY paul can do. If you are one of the guys who can weld and fab up a manifold which actually seems to be more and more these days, and you understand the goal of the build you can replicate something like this for again a lot cheaper as the bulk of this build is the manifold.
Both our builds have more money into them and neither of us will have a powerband like him. Not that we won't make more power but still the goal of this isn't to make the fastest car possible it's to make the most street friendly and widest powerband possible.

My power band with the shot I will be running would be even greater than his, although running nitrous makes it less pratical. However I have built multiple 50trim/30r turbos especially on strokers that would have a larger powerband from start to finish.
Like I said before, I have to show him the due respect for piecing this one off masterpiece on his own. As a sheetmetal worker/fabricator I can appreciate his work, but people acting like its some sort of revolution are simply misguided.
