Default which route would you go?

later this week i am pickin up a new car to take over as daily driver so that means the fox can just be a fun weekend car. so i'm trying to decide what to do with it. as far as the engine goes i'm either gonna go with gt40 heads/intake or a vortec s trim. i just wanted to see what peoples opinions are and why. or i could get a 331 stroker kit and go that way. lets here some opinions!!! thanks!!

How much money are you working with? What are your goals for the car

as much money as it takes really its not really an issue. also because i have all the time in the world. goals for the car are just something thats really fun to drive and still really streetable. not looking for huge gains just something a little more than what its got now. motor is stock. i still want some reliability but its not the dd anymore. wont ever see the track. i dont race at all so probly just some weekend driving out to the beach etc. i guess i don't want to change things too much because it runs perfect. it has always been taken care of and im sure it has lots of good years left in it.

Go with the Vortech! ...tuned right, you can get in the 11's with stock heads, cam & intake!

I'd do a s/c all the way.......tune right it'll most likely outpower the h/c/i and youmay find out you have less invested with that in the end
