Default Help me decide my new build!!!!

So I'm leaning toward a boosted build, preferably turbo. But I would like other members input, what they've ran with, good, bad, whatever.

How deep are your pockets? A turbo build with a forged moter will cost you $15,000(+-).

I have about $14,000 into my setup right now and I'm still saving for a $2,500 rear end.
If your on more of a budget build a bigger CI engine and spray it. If $$$ doesn't matter I would go forged 347ci + turbo.

Then go for the forged internals turbo build. Go for a 402+ CI motor if your pockets are deep enough.

I am with 99blancoss. You need to set a budget and time expectations, this will help you avoid changing you mind in the middle of the build and starting from scratch (waste of time and money). I would go Stroker N/A (I am actually getting one once I save up some money).
