I don't think a rotating assembly will give you any gains. It will allow you to build up a stronger engine and use supercharging or nitrous.

Intake, exhaust, cams and general headwork are the way to improve performance N/A.

I would think that the stage II would be better for you, since it's built to be run NA. Not sure, but that is just what I would guess.

A rotating assemblky can add power in two ways:

1. Raise compression. If you raise compression, you are severly limiting yourself if you want to go F/I later on.
2. Forged crank to allow higher RPM. In this case, you need the heads, intake, cams, and valvetrain to support the increased RPM.

Most of the time, good internals are not necessary for an N/A engine unless you are going all out.

don't waste your money unless you want high compression. use the money to upgrade heads and valvetrain. get some cams.
