Title: I don't know where to post (was: Import little cars)

Yep, we live for that shit  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

So do I stroke my 4.3L 200 HP and 250 lb ft motor out to a 4.5L?  320 HP and 350 lb ft at an estimated cost of $5K.....

Or just grab a 5-6 PSI super charger with an intercooler and slap it together for a 275 HP and 300 lb ft motor in an afternoon for around $4K?

There's a reason for it being in the OT area.  Hell, there hasn't been any truck or more specifically Jeep news in months.

 I still say turbo and get 285hp from it.  Not to mention it would all be OEM. A Centrifugal would be cheap and pretty easy to do also.

 I hate to say this ,but, I agree with Jeffy

 Strokers can be a real bear to get right unless you have a group that knows them inside out... like say the Strokers group on the 4.0. jmho.

 Besides I like huffers ! :)
