Im right there with you on the reasons to stroke it - though with the current stock rebuild I already have horrible compression (just north of 7.5) which is why i thought paddle pumping it now would be the cheapest way to go (im guessing about 3k with carbs and blower drive kit) where as Im at least 5k to stroke it naturally aspirated with a good single or dual plane.

so im leaning towards playing with current set up blown until I can save up enought to build the stroker around the blower req's

but whole reason for posting was to get others opinions cuz im not sold either way yet - but to me living with mild compression now makes the least sense without a blower topping it off.

Doc, thanks for the opinion - if you got more im listening.
