What should I do next?
 
I know you guys see this question alot but I can't figure out which direction to go. I have a few options but I'm not sure which one will be best. Best meaning the most power improvement without sacrificing to much reliability.

Option 1: Port and polish stock intake/heads. Add a supercharger at 5-6 lbs of boost as to not blow up stock bottom end. New cam.

Option 2: Twisted wedge aftermarket intake and heads, new cam. But keep it N/A.

Option 3: Find a built replacement engine that already produces upwards of 300 horses and then add the bolt ons like exhaust, tb, pulleys, all the other stuff i already have.

I guess that if i ever did replace the engine completely, after a year or so(it takes me that long to save up money in college) I would have my intake ported and polished. The way I calculated it, the options above are all gonna cost about the same, but which do you guys think is the best way to go?

I would go with option number 2...

Def go with #2, not worth porting/polishing stock heads and intake.

another option
 
I forgot option number 4: 75 shot of dry or wet nitrous on the stock motor.

i think i figured it out
 
Ok, well ive thought about it and i think I've figured out what im going to do. Because the stock bottom end has upwards of 100k on it, I've decided to go with a new motor. My plan is to get a larger TB + MAFS for this engine, and put a 75 shot of nitrous into it for right now. Over this winter and spring, I'm going to look for a 351 block and build it from the bottom up. New everything, possibly even the Twisted heads and intake on it. If not definately a cobra intake and some type of aftermarket heads. Then if i still need it, i can slap the nitrous on that and not have to worry about it going boom. So i guess at this point im looking for a 65mm TB, C&L 76mm MAFS w/ the inlet tube, and a complete nitrous kit. If your looking to get rid of one or any of these things let me know. paul@hatespeople.com

The cool thing about the C&L MAFS w/ inlet tube is, it has a built in Nitrous boss in the tube.:)

Yeah, thats why im looking for one, it will give better air flow and it makes the nitrous setup a whole lot easier...

I'd go w/ option 2 and then 4! :D
