Today was a sad day for my Taco after cylinder 2 tested 43 psi, however, now I get to rebuild it!

This will be my first rebuild and I am looking to upgrade some of the internals while I have it apart. Are there any stroker kits or other modifications that you guys recommend doing for getting some more power out of it?

I have checked them out. I was wondering if I would see any significant gains with their stage 1 cam or if I should get stage 2.

If they don't have any dyno's, definitely give them a call.

Boost it. SC is easier to bolt on, turbo is more complex, both need fuel/timing upgrades.
