pulleys
4.5 stroker
bored (if i can)
ported/polish heads (if necessary)
cams
tune

do you understand that you will spend twice if not triple the amount of $$ to stay N/A versu FI ?

my big advice is this way , unless you are racing with rules that dont permit you to have an FI engine but as to stay NA.
GO for it ! you might be seing 350-370whp (stroked) with all those mods

but seriously if its not for the racing purpose , just go with a SC or TT !!
your wallet will be much more happier !!

I started at 256whp and ended to 324 on the same dyno with about the same weather . I spend about 6000$

Doing the work yourself is going to help a lot on labor since the costs above are just for the parts. If you get this going it will be a great build since no one has done a NA build yet like this.

Definitely forgot about that $6k for the stroker

Thanks for the reminder.

Cuz its probably been done before and I want to put it together myself

I really appreciate all the input guys! Really. I hear what you're saying about bang for buck, but its really a firm goal to stay natural and build it. I know turbo or sc would be faster and better for the $ but its too easy for me. Like I said I love being a little different ya know? I only want 400-450wheel and then I'd move on to another project so I'm not intending to go past that so im not too worried about spending double or triple what it'd cost for FI.

Again thanks for the input! keep it comin
