is this a necessity. is it more logical to just get a turbo charger? what are some pros and cons

 

Come on now. Proof read. Bore and stroke. I don't think either are good. Go with a super and when the engine goes then do the rebuild/bore and stroke. I like the feel of immediate power of an N/A motor. SC keeps this initial power and gives nice power as RPM's build.

 

SC won't fit 2002...custom turbo is pretty much the best option for forced induction.

There isn't much room left to bore/stroke a 3.5. Besides, go any longer in the stroke and you'll reduce the redline as engine geometry gets worse.

It really depends on how much power you're trying to get out of your car. Easiest is put a 50 shot and you're making 280+whp...more than enough to keep up w/ most cars on this forum. Going higher w/ turbo costs a lot more and reduces reliability along w/ the amount of care needed. Also forget about trying to warranty anything.
