Looking through power upgrades to the Inline 6. I like to dream what can I say.. I have thought of doing many things in the future.
I know Frank did a 5.3L Swap and all the work involved.
I've seen quite a few stroker Inline 6's
To those who have done a lot of engine upgrades and swap is it really worth it then leaving the stock Inline 6 and just have some good gearing? I'm not out to have a sports car(jeep) but extra power is fun.
I have come up with a few schemas of Ideas
350 TPI motor from 80's trans am or camaros and installing a Ram Jet upgrade which is a good set up for low to mid, and better high then stock. The TPI motors are based very largely on torque and fuel consumption to a minimum. Plus they can be mated to a 700r4 which is a strong tranny.
Next you'd be stroking the inline 6 to a 4.6L boring it 30 over using 258 crank and etc. Though I know a stroker usually sucks in more gas then using stock...
So I thought of another way of Boosting power that can help out in low range and yet not be to expensive or in depth. I came accross this supercharger

It is basically a plug and play kit with all required pieces to function properly and claims to run 5-6 psi to increase torque closer to 300. The kit is $4000. Which is cheaper then an involved motor swap, may save better on gas then a stroker even if the stroker may be cheaper to build.. Usually as long as you don't boost past 8 psi then the stock internals can handle it fine as long as the motor isnt trashed beforehand.
I just want ideas on what people have ran. Thank you :)
