Did i say an S2K was a Lotus??? I said Lotus use this very simply method. Which does work!
Don't worry i'm aware of the total cost of building an all out F24C especially from TODA, especially when you include all the other parts required needed to support an all out build, correct me if i'm wrong but 30K+ and now we're starting to get somewhere.
Of course it's in your interest for every person who walks throw your door to spend a packet, that's how buisnesses are run.
As for a minor power increase and you saying it's a perspective thing, are you attempting to justify the idiotic price tag that comes with a full build with MINOR power increases. Nice one!
Having a dig? Why do I bother?
I agreed with you in that you’re right about the S2K needing to go on a diet for better power to weight.
But my point was the car is tubby & quite expensive to lighten to a point were a realistic benefit is realised.
& so, on balance, the stroker kit isn’t such bad value at all, particularly in 2.35L form.
Seriously, rather than huff & puff … Just do the maths…
The car weighs in at 1275kg stock…
Factory power to weight is 7.12kg : kw
Drop the cars weight to 1000kg & it’s 5.58kw : kg which is not bad.
But for a similar amount, a 2.35L kit with some fruit can deliver 5.51kw : kg at standard weight.
Now do both… Drop the weight out of the car & up the grunt, with very little effort you’re on 4.32kw : kg

The comment about perspective is nothing like your twisted take.
Rather it’s just about your perception.
You & likely some other members seem to be under the impression that a well built 2.4L F20C will only deliver a minor power increase. And the premium price tag that this “minor increase” comes at is a complete rip off.

Others have a different perspective.
That is that the power increase is better than average with high durability.
Availability is good & at an acceptable price.
If you’re going to modify an F20C & keep it normally aspirated, it’s a logical step.

Anyway…
Put this thread back on topic.
