Engine building ?

Hey guys Im wanting to know what would be better for my build. I want to reinforce the motor but Im not sure if I should stroke it or just build the stock 2.0. I plan on doing full bolt ons and a red with head work looking to get 500 awhp but I also want the motor to be very strong. The car will be used for track and drag.

For a Red I would do a built 2.0 personally. The stroker or overbore motor would be nice, but the 2.0L motor will rev higher (than stroker) and the red spools quick already.

Agreed. That's pretty much what I did...

^ & ^ red spools almost as quickly as the stocker...stick to the 2.0 for this turbo build

Depends, it can go either way with that, depends on if you want a really high revving motor or more torque down low...we have small motor turbo cars so I chose not to fight it.
