Default Which route would you take?

Okay guys I'm looking for some good feed back. I have about $7000 to spend on mods and I wanna get the most for my money. I have three options that I'm considering.

Option 1: http://www.ramseysperformance.com/os...products_id=35from a local well respected shop.

Option 2: http://www.livernoismotorsports.com/...t.phtml?p=1679this same set up performed here in town by Ramsey's. This will also leave some dough for exhaust and maybe wheels and tires.

Option 3: Replace the rotating assemblyand stroke the engine. Then go with a centrifugal type supercharger which I could upgrade later but with the option to go boost crazy with the forged internals.

Looking for some good feedback so let it rip!

Yeah, it would free up some dough to replace the internals with forged and stroke the engine. Then if wanted to go with a twin screw later I could run alot more boost. Does that make any sense?

Plus I would gain the hp from the stroked motor on top of what the centrifugalblower would produce.
