>> What is the major weakness of the 5s that can be dealt with aftermarket parts. Or is it just a waste of money and no matter what you do the engine still is weak?

head design
having a slave cam (no individual cam tunability)
rods
compression ratio
oil squirters under the pistons (stolen from a 3sgte and added to a 5sfe block)

by the time you fix all that it probably would've been better to just get a 3sgte and stroke it.
