Time to buy stuff $
Ok guys got the money together for the forged internals if you read in my last thread then this one will make sense, now for the internals ive found the forged rotating assembly kits for 1925, now that seems to much to me is there any way of getting around that price 
how did yall go about doing forged internals any build threads?

would it be easier to peice together my own forged kit maybe,
like a forged cobra crank,
rods/pistons/rings/stroke kit what am i missing i only have a 5k budget and i thought that would be more than enough but i guess not

$5k is enough to do a stroker kit. However, buying a high end kit that is already balanced saves time and machine shop costs. My point is, unless you want to do the research, just buy a kit.
The Brian Crower kit, for example, is around $4800 (keeping in mind it has a billet crank- which may not be necessary for your application). On the other end would be the stroker kit from Hawaii Racing, which runs $1600 fully balanced http://www.hawaiiracing.com/?page=sh...roduct_id=5532. Even Stage 3 sells some nice stroker kits for the same price.

sorry for panicing, yeah i was looking at the stage 3, the hawaii seems cheaper would this stroker kit work with a supercharger and mainly would i be a ticking time bomb or would i be good for a reliable 400hp cause my goal is not to be a ticking timb bomb!

I do not have personal experience with stroker kits but 99% of stroker motor owners on this sight say they are a waste of money. if you are looking into a good RA here is a good site to look at.

There are a some extra things to consider when stroking- additional angle of the rods (to the crank and clearance to the block), piston speed, valve clearance and compression change.
With that said- going from 4.6 to 5.0 should be fine with the stock cams and moderate boost. It will be a killer combination with the blower you want to run. Just be sure that you're blower kit keeps the fuel mixture when safe limits.
Lastly, I think many people overestimate the gain that stroking makes (by itself). Your primary gain will be more torque- specifically lower to mid range power (torque and horsepower).

this is what im doing decided finally, hawaii racings stroker kit, 03 cobra block machined and ready, pi swap, with a p/p job on the heads, that would be all my 5k with all that getting a pro install then i would have to buy the supercharger peice by peice, but from my understanding the stroker kit would be forged internals correct? cause thats my whole deal i want o be forged?
