Default stroker kit

i have a stock 1994 GT with 145K on it. I want to give it a little more power. i was thinking either a stroker kit or a KB blower. I think i would be better off with a stroker kit and rebuild the motor. But im worried about if i decide to boost it then the compression ratio will be too high. im not an expert about this stuff, so thats why im asking you. it would prob be better to do a 331 kit if i plan to boost down the road wouldnt it? what kits does everyone suggest, and about how much would it cost to do an install? also, i would prob benifit alot more if i went ahead and bought some better flowing heads and intake, and possibly a small cam?? any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks alot.

331 with a supercharger...sounds like you got it right. I wouldnt bother putting a blower on a high mileage engine with Hypereutectic pistons.

you can buy a dss 331 short block w/ girdle and all forged internals for $1800, might as well do that the kits are a grand roughly?right?
