i have a 2001 thats basically stock except for a CAI im wanting to start building up the engine from the inside out but am unsure which would be better a 3.8 long arm kit or a 4.2 stroker and what kind of work is going to be needed if i do do the stroker

you mean long rod. the long rod 4.2 or 4.3 would be the best
