I was thinking of rebuilding my engine with the 3.4 stroker kit(The website says around 180hp) so then i figure, to do a world wide search and find a 3.1L turbo engine and take the turbo off that and put it on the 3.4 stroker engine... How much hp do you think i be able to produce with this setup?

Someone please correct me if i'm wrong, but doesn't a stroker have too high of compression to add on a turbo? :-?

Generally.
so if i went with the stoker, the turbo would be out?
Apparently...But I really know jack about compression :)

no just as long as the compression is around 8-9:1
you could have a stroker motor with 8.5:1 if you wanted. you'd be changing the bore and the stroke of the crankshaft. you'd be able to run a turbo but you wouldn't want to take your revs to high cuz strokers aren't really meant for high rpms.
do the same rules apply for a supercharger?

yes. if you are going with boost you are better off going with big bore short stroke.
