im personally considering a boosted m20 stroker.

you really should just go over to R3v or e30tech and study and read every swap thread and posts about it. you have much to learn before asking more questions!

I have an m50 swap and am plenty happy with 30 extra HP, let alone 70.

Its been done literally hundreds of times. If you join R3vlimited you'll probably find 100 DIY write ups on the swap :)
