OK so I am really unsure on what I want to do.... Heres my two choices...

since my 22r is a turd with 230K miles, its getting really really worn out. It has no power. It lost a lot of power from when I got it and I can never get the vacuum lines straight. Also the tranny in my truck is starting to shift hard and its been grinding in 2nd and 3rd on occasion. SO I am either going to do one of these:

22r, COMPLETE rebuild (but id use the LCE stage 2 cam I already have), EFI (I have the harness and everything all ready to go in, just havent had the time), and a supercharger (Know someone selling one thats smog legal in CA for 400 dollars). and probably a w56 tranny. Gas milage should be somewhere around 14 or so id assume.

OR

4.3L Vortec V6, 4l60e or 700r4 tranny, but with this id need new mounts/adapter to toy case, new radiator(already have an electric fan but would need the cool thing Big Mike has) new exhaust and maybe new drive lines (or at least rear one) and also id need to go through the wiring harness once more which sucks. But with this itd be about 220+ HP (from what I understand). Gas milage should be about 14 with this

I know people ALWAYS put these kind of topics up all the time but my motor is just really pissing me off. It was doing fine but now its terrible. 4K and it has 0 power. Used to be able to pull I-80 going up by donner summit around 65 (before i put the stage 2 cam in even) and now 55 is way hard even after the cam. Ive never checked the valves and I know the vacuum lines are correct. Never checked the compression either but Ill bet its bad, when I had the head off the cylinder walls looked good but dont know what the compression was like.

SO WHAT SHOULD I DO?
