[308] to stroke or turbo the is the question

[sam5l]

well as the title says i have a few parts to stroke my 5l to 355 but i still need around another 5k to dod it properly so i was thinking of just doing a fresh 5l rebuild with a snail or two on the sides and call that dinner whats ppl's opinions like i know with the 355 ill make roughly 250rwkw but ive seen standard turbo 5l making 320 so could someone shed some light on this for me also am i better off going supercharged ?????

355 and a snail maybe? Personally I believe that bang for your buck FI is the go and then later on you can stroke to suit if you want, or just add more boost.

is it a 5l or a 308? if you can find a 308 turbo setup for 5k, can you please link me?

i was thinking just 308 efi turbo no stroking but how strong are the holden bottome ends i mean if i turbo it and run say 10=11lbs will the guts just drop out?

with a rebuilt bottom end, new hyperutectic pistons etc, and running a nice safe tune it should be right to run 10psi boost. might be an idea to chuck in some hi tensile rod/main/head bolts while its apart too

ok so standard re linished crank? standard rods? i dunno
