Ok...so as many of you know my turbo is off the car and it's running in N/A form for the moment so I've got a few options.

Option #1: Refresh the motor and stick another turbo on it.

Option #2: Build a big ass 351-based stroker motor...either a 408 or 420 and go straight N/A

Problems, you ask? Well...option 1 is a bit tricky. Another turbo would cost me close to $1500 for a T-76. I've got a good line on a T-91 that made 10 passes before the guy realized it was more turbo than he could use, but to make that work I'd pretty much have to make the car a dedicated race car. Plus I'd have to dump some more cash into refreshing the motor. Option number two means some suspension changes and a big lumpy, grumpy motor. I want to keep this thing as streetable as possible and I just don't know if I can make the kind of power I want with a streetable, comfortable N/A stroker motor. Maybe I'm missing something. What do you guys think?
