Which Stroker: 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, or 2.7?

Are you talking about full boost or when it would start spooling? A 2.3L stroker typically knocks off 300-400 RPMs of spool.

Possibly full spool, not sure until I get it all done. But supposedly a 2.4 with spool a 20g at 2k rpms according to someone on dsmtalk. But we will just have to wait and see. I would even be very happy if it got full spool at 3k rpms.

i find 2000 RPM's a little hard to belive, but maybe possible. I figure round 700-900 RPM's less full spool for the 4G64 than the 4G63.

why not just toss in a 4g54, the engine from a starion? i'm sure you can find one for $3k or less, and then just sell your old engine for $1k<
if you do it right, i think you could get it into your car for under $3k after selling your old engine. the only problems i've discovered after reading a little about the 2.6 were the head and pistons, things you'd probably want to change anyway, right?

IMO, a 2.6 or 2.7 4 banger is a little much...
also, cost wise, the 4G64 isnt all that expensive. Ill be paying roughly $2k for a fully built bottom end 2.4

Exactly, very cost effective, and then you still have a 7 bolt 4g63 bottom end you can sell when you are done.
