. here is what the motor currently has that i am aware of (all motor work was done by the previous owner(s).)

bbk cold air intake (fendermount)
bbk 70mm throttle body
bbk 70mm maf
gt40 upper and lower intake manifold
bbk FP regulator
f303 cam
underdrive pulleys
bbk headers
bbk h pipe
borla dumps
stock 19lb injectors

ive installed an optima red top and a 200a alternator as well.

i was looking at twisted wedge 170s 1.6 roller rockers, comp cam to start...but dont know if i would benefit more with a supercharger or 347 stroker kit? im looking to get the best bang for the buck and spend around $3-4k all said and done.

how many miles on your current motor? If it has alot and will need a freshening up, I'd stroke it. If its good to go, add a blower and go racing!

Start with budget and what you do with the car.
How's it run now, burn any oil.
