I cn't keep my yap shut, I'll admit it. I thought the guy was after pure 1/4 mile performance, which is why I went with the 360. You were right in saying that the jazzed up 4.0 will reach it's performance ceiling faster than starting with a stock 360, after all you can stick a stock 360-auto in and dial in all the chassis needs around it, then switch over to a 401 or a tire burning crate engine. For good street manners a jazzed up 4.0 can't be beat. Especially if backed up with an AOD or 5-spd stick. So if the original writer is reading this, not us two hot air blowers, then I guess it depends on which way to go. If you want cheap street improvement go with the stroker 4.0. If you want quarter mile performance with improvent potential, go with the 360. Nuff said on my part, until I get rankeled.....Russ __________________________________________ Yahoo! DSL ?
