Looking to make as much usable power as my stock TR3650 tranny & rear end can handle. Price is a factor. Engine is a Ford Racing Alluminator (9.8:1 compression) UPR coilover/K-member delete kit. Lethal budget return fuel system (dual Walbro pumps, #60 injectors) upgraded ignition system & plugs. 3.73 gears. A few various extras. Race on Track over Strip so low end power is preferable although the more the better. Take on occasional road trips (OCMD). All Help/Suggestions appreciated!!

basically just looking for the most cost effective way to make the most power, originally built to go turbo then thought ported eaton swap would be cheaper/easier/more reliable but now it's looking like it'd cost more

Turbo will make more power but the Eaton will be less of a headache. Bolt on and go... you decide what one you want. I went with the Eaton because it was less hassle and still makes good power.

If you are staying with a manual trans, go with the eaton.... You will make good power and be a lot of fun. Plus 2.3whipple swaps or vmp TVS will really wake it up. Now if you go auto, turbo all day long
