Yeap, done probably hundreds of times, you can search on here, celicatech.com and 6gc.net for info on it. I've done a couple, labor is usually around $1200-$1500 with FMIC and everything.

hey dr. tweak, how big a difference is it from having a 3sgte with stroker kit than with 2.2 block? Im curious, I stroked out my car and kind of wanted to know the difference.

Stroking add more torque then HP. With the 3S-GTE in a GT, I don't think you'll need any more torque. Most people with the swap have trouble with traction. Someone done 5S-GTE in a Corolla and he can lose it at 4th. Fun but not useful.
