Is anything like this available yet? I know DCR shrugs de-stroking off like its "inferior" to their 2.6l stroker engine, but I dont want a drag strip car I want a fun street car and I would really like to de-stroke my engine to 2.2L. Maybe a stroke similar to the 80s turbo dodge 2.2 turbo engines.
I believe the rod length and cylinder bore of the 80s 2.2l and the Srt-4 engine are the same, and the T3 engines proved to make good power and rev out well. If the SRT engine was de-stroked down to 92mm it would have pretty much the same rod/stroke ratio (unless longer rods are used to maintain the piston placement in the SRT engine's cylinders).
I was just wondering if anybody had looked into this further and if there are any options out there?

the red line would have to be reset buy the pcm not the engine itself. ive never heard of destroking this motor. ive heard of people doing it with dsm's

I mean, would these internals allow you to have a higher redline.
It would be easier on the engine to rev higher because the piston has a shorter distance to go in the same period of time, this decreases piston speed/acceleration.
destroking to a 2.2 should raise the safe rev limit of the engine. without calculating anything, it's difficult to say how much tho. do you have a built head? how often are you going to rev the piss out of the car?
I remember some 2.2 guys that put a lot of money into there motors and added a 16v head where able to get there cars to spin up near 9k. but then again the cars only made power up to about 7200. Now for the 80's 2.2's they had a de-stroke crank that took it to a 2.0L.. Very rare I believe as I'm only see one of the crank (On ebay a couple years ago)
