I definitely did. I thought I knew about everything that was out for the MP3 thus far. I did, sort of. Everything except this:

Thomas Knight Stroker Kit
2150cc stroker kit that features forged rods and pistons. Includes crank, rods, bearings, pistons, rings and pins.
Price: $1,995.00
http://www.knightturbos.com

which was in the parts guide just recently posted. I got all excited until I saw who made it. DAMN! So close yet so far away! I've heard some...correction.....TONS of bad stuff about Thomas Knight Turbos. It's just a shame. I'm so interested that I almost dismissed my previous opinion of Thomas Knight's Sh*t and assumed it was of the upmost quality. Almost. I mean, could they make a lot of crap yet excell in making bottom ends? Could this be the missing link in the MP3 boost evolution? Maybe?.... Please?!?

WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?

From what I understand he doesn't manufacture those parts, he simply sells them. I would email him and ask if he actually makes the parts or not.

here are a few questions to ask...

1. how is the crank stroked?

there are numerous ways.....

is it a new forging or casting that is machined to the required specs?

or is it a stock crank that has had the rod journals welded up and then reground?

OR do the new forged rods have smaller diameter big ends so the stock crank is reground with a new journal size (this also offsets the centerline of the rod, thus increasing the stroke).

2. who makes the rods and of what design are they? same for the pistons.
