Default New lower end help

I have a 95 trans am t76 turbo. i Need help picking a new lower end I am looking for bast for the money not the bast . I need high hp capable not a high price tag. Iam looking at dragonslayer,sledgehammer,Howard cams,compstar, eagle and, scat for the crank.

What cranks do you like and why?
What stroke 3.48 3.75 or 3.85 and some reasons why?
Rod length and why?

Please give me your thoughts thanks

You can't afford to go cheap on the bottom end when you're dealing with boost. Understand that a properly setup turbo build will run at LEAST 2x the cost of a stroker build.

Compstar is not cheap! If you want cheap you can go with an eagle forged set up with H beam rods, they are pretty reasonably priced for the products you are getting.
