Is it the cure all? No, it's a differnet direction that I'm chosing to explore. Afterall this will still be an experimental build.
After seeing how scorched the crowns of the pistons were at 7,000 miles, the stroker build was a different way to go to reach my desired compression ration. That number will remain between myself and Tim as they build each setup individually to reach the customers requested specifications. The reason you got a vague cost is because in order to get an exact price, Tim needs to know block and head heights and head CC's to start with. From there he can get a better idea on total build cost.
The boost numbers I'm targeting to run will be what I want it to safely operate at. Will it build more boost? I'm sure it will given enough fuel as to why I want to start low and build up. After being educated on the internals of the DB 2's and their limitations, I'm not sold on adding a hybrid IP.
As far as project movement goes, it's on hold right now, I haven't had the time to talk to Tim and with it on hold haven't had the need to. I'm hosting our annual rally and I haven't the time to move forward with the build due to the resources the rally consumes.
Jason has made some progress with the exhaust manifolds but he too has rally precedence as well.
I'm contemplating at moving this build into my 2 wheel drive crew cab as to not take down my primary summer driver due to the amount of engine compartment redesigning that will need to be done to fit the twins plus exhaust configurations will be easier without having to deal with a transfer case.
Working a full time job then pulling wrenches on the side( turning nearly full time) tends to not leave a whole lot of spare time so to do this right I don't want to rush it together and have something fail due to poor craftsmanship.
Ok and I'm really itching to have a lowered dually sporting a super single rear tire.
