Default Engine build?

Does anyone know if there are stroker kits, cams, or other types of engine build out options in the works? I'm surprised that after 2 years superchargers and hemi conversions are still the major sources of horsepower upgrades.

I bet a 4.4 stroker with ported head would be a dramatic increase... Is this engine just not able to take it?

I couldn't agree more. I have searched high and low for engine mods for the 3.8 and didn't find squat. It almost give you the idea that the engine must not be good for it. Then you see somebody tricking out a freekin escort and you scratch your head.

Isn't there an engine guy on this forum that can comment on best place to go or maybe even it's own catagory on the site for engine mods and the results of those mods.
