Default Reliability: Stroker or Kraftwerks supercharger?

Hi,

I'm looking for more power on my ITR. I'm considering two different ways, 86x89 stroker using a Dart tall block, or going supercharged using a Kraftwerks kit.

In one case, the engine would have to cope to the long stroke, high revs and about 12 CR, on the other hand the EGT, heat on long runs (20-30 minutes of hard beat).

I dunno which setup would be the most reliable for track use. I sometimes use my ITR on roads but only on week ends for pleasure.

I don't have experience with either setup but a stock engine with a proper tune for boost should be just as reliable as the stock setup.

If you really believe that I suggest you go ahead and try it out for yourself on a race circuit and then report back to us with the results.
