D.S.S. motors and strokers

I posted a thread recently about what to build if you had some cash to burn and now it is time to finalize the ideas. I was thinking of using either a cobra motor or a new assembly for my 96GT but I can't make the decision. I am looking at D.S.S. motors and thinking of using the 4.6 Pro Modular motor they offer with some stage 3 PI heads with springs and valves and VT cams. My other option is stepping it up to a stroker 5.0 motor but I am kinda leary of the stroker. I would prefer to stay N/A and want something that will stick me solidly into the low 12's to high 11's. What I need to know is if that is feasable with this set up and stay a driver as well. The rear end is taken care of and the tranny will be redone as well so drivetrain shouldn't be an issue. Oh, if it helps I am running an automatic. I don't race a lot but I want the capability if I choose to and my main desire is to be able to whip up on some LS1 camaros and know that I have some power when I want it. If you guys have a better suggestion then I am open to ideas and would appreciate some help on info about D.S.S motors and other motors out there that are comparable. If anyone is running a set up that sticks them in this arena I would love to hear about what you've done or what you think I should do. As I said before this is my first mustang and I want it done right.

Did you ever get your tune? I figured that a DSS motor would put out more power than 430 with a blower. Would their really be a lot more work involved with putting on the DOHC than using the PI heads? Also, did you modify your tranny any when you upgraded your motor? I wrote down your parents number and will give them a call when I do mine. I am still trying to decide on whether to go bigger or not but I would prefer N/A and want to be able to hit 12's easily and venture into high 11's. Honestly though your set up has me worried because if 430RWHP only gets 12.5 then I wonder what it will take to get 11's? Do you really think the DSS shortblock gave you a good foundation to run off of? Which set up are you running?

helloooooooooooo!! Anybody out there that can help or add some advice? If I get a whole new shortblock then how hard would putting on the 4v heads be? I know jack about Cobra motors.
