Default 250 or 400?

i am 16 and have the trailblazer in my signature
with a budget around of around 3500.
that is including the money i intend on getting from the trailblazer i sell from which i have a solid customer. do you guys think i should keep the 250 and stroke it or buy the 400 and modify it?
any info would be useful

Port the 250( dont stroke it) ride it while saving more $$$$ because you will need a bunch on a 400.The mods never seem to end on a 400.Too much power to be had but it aint cheap.

Stroking wont get you what it cost in power compared to the 400.A good port job on a 250 with your pipe should get you running close to a stock 400.
400s run anywhere from $1000-$4000.A decent 2x4 runs avg $1500 then the cash flow starts.You would end up with close to $4000 in one by the time you get all the work done(pipe,porting,girdle,carb,reeds,clutching,susp ension upgrades,wheels&tires)
If you like the 250 stick with it save your cash buy a 400 to mod a little at a time and still have a ride.

A stroker kit w/reed conversion will boost power but not as much as what you have to pay.
