should i do a stroker kit or an s50 swap?

I am in a pickle. I really want to do a s50 swap with a zf tranny, but for me that seems a tad bit too expensive. The other option that I have thought about is a stroker kit. Ireland engineering has a 3.1L kit that they say out performs the e36 m3. Just wondering if the stroker would be the better way to go and if anyone has tried it before? Thank

I'd go s50. Stock motor is usually more reliable than a modified engine, especially a stroked engine.

S50 all the way! should be plenty cheaper than a stroker

alright thanks for the advise

I think an M20 that can pull on an S50 is pretty badass. I say stroker.
