It depends on how much hp you want to make n/a and what your goals are for the car .

Also how much money you want to spend is a biggie .

I left my bore at 4" and went with a 4" stroke and then added a 2 stage 300 , 150/150

just curious,did your bottom end let go with that Ms3 cam and stock rod bolts? Or are you just looking to add cubes?

But to answer your question,I guess it would depend on how much you wanna spend

Sorry to hear about a rod bolt letting go. I just added some Katechs last month. Kept hearing of the earlier year cars with Big cams eventually let go with the high Rpm.I have a 98 too,so I upgraded.Knock on wood hope it holds.How long did you have the Ms3 in before it let go.
