Default what should my next step be for more power

I currently am about to have my full exhaust put on, 1 7/8 headers with 3" all the way back.... I have my cartek 2x h/c package.... however... I'd like to be a bit faster and I don't want to use nitrous. Would it be safe to put a supercharger on my setup and have about 6psi? Or do I need to get new internals first? Or would it make more sense to stroke my motor first? Help...

supercharger option would depend on compression ratio. you possibly wouldnt have to get new internals, but its a good idea. if you have the funds, i would do a stroker.

Chances are your h/c package has upped compression.. an enemy of FI. You would probably be better to look into ading CI before a going FI, unelss you want to redo the h/c package as well... in that case, you mine as well sell your motor and build a whole new one for FI and go that route.

All comes down to how much $ do you want to spend.
