I don't know man I would agree when i was in your position as i was but now that i have three cars, it's a lot more practical to upgrade my car now. I mean it took a month to tear my engine and tranny down and rebuild them both, thank God i have two other cars to drive in the mean time; not to mention things that will go wrong after the install (THINGS WILL PROBABLY GO WRONG). It's not wise to put your DD through that stress and if you can't even afford a second car why clean yourself out upgrading a car? buy a cheap 2k dollar car and then work on the stang. It's like pouring your lifes savings into buying a house and when something goes wrong your too broke to do anything...

i guess you mean to buy the small block and not a stroker kit. I considered buying a stroker when i rebuilt my engine but backed out because after reading enough threads, the cons outweighted the pros. Everyones different but do know if this is your DD, a stroker kit will put much wear and tear on a motor. Buy a stroker if your car is dedicated to track driving. Go research pros and cons of a stroker. Apparently the stroke on these motors stock is almost the same stroke on a 383 chevy, so if you stroke it out to say a 5.1L your stressing that little *** block out. and remember just cuz you have a motor stroked out to a 5.0 doesn't mean it will perform like one. Just buy a 5.0 shortblock and bore it out, it will still use the same heads and all just let the manufacturer know what app your buying it for. Stroking is a waste of time and if your buying a kit, don't forget to add in machine costs for block honing and balancing the assembly (about an extra 500 bucks together). I bought my 4.6 forged assembly from stage3 and if you have a supercharger thats probably what you should get, not a stroker. Get 18.1 CC dished pistons, works very well with FI.

well just stroking might not gain huge peak hp on an n/a car, but it gains a fatter power band. i am planning on doing an aluminum stroker this next year. the stroker will keep the exhaust valves open longer and spool up the turbo quicker. this way I can run a bigger turbo without increased lag. that will flow alot more air to take advantage of the increased displacement

Ive delt with kenne bell superchargers, and kenne bell will tell you what you can and cant do. When you call them they will ask you some questions about your engine, tire size, gears, and so on. Kenne bell deals with one on one cutomer relations. You can put a 2.1L w/9 pounds supercarger on a stock motor and be smoking most of the people that put thousands into theres. Most of your questions will be asked on there web site. kennebell.net Plus alot of people dont know that much about them because they dont sell there supercargers to any parts houses. Further more Kenne bell put on one of there superchargers on a stock 98 4.6 and ran it over 300 dyno runs. As long as you got a strong motor there wont be any problems.
