Wouldn't increasing displacement by 20% cause an approximate 20% increase in power? I don't understand TreyMR2's comment above. I don't see why other modifications would be necessary to see the benefit of a longer stroke on an otherwise stock motor? If someone could shed some light on that it'd be appreciated.

the stroker engine will use approximatly the same tune as a 2.0L in most cases. if running the stock ECU w/AFM there won't be any fuling issues. if running a EMS then after everything is broken in i'd recommend having the car dynoed and maps checked and tweakes if necessary.
everything tuning wise will be the same as a regular 2.0L just might require more fuel at higher loads if using a EMS.
wit hthe stroker kit machining instructions are provided for the engine builder.
