What's the best road to take?
Ok, I'm trying to plan out what to do with the car engine wise and I'm unsure as to what would be best.
What I would like is a car for 99.9% street use that puts out about 300-350hp and 350-400TQ (if that's not to much for the street :-))
I was thinking of either a supercharged 305TPI or a 350TPI or 383TPI. I'm not worried about reving high so I'm fine with the "WALL" of 4500-5000RPM the TPI will create.
I figure the 305 supercharged is going to cost at least $3000 more then any of the other choices which is basicly the only reason I'm considering the others so I guess if anyone can give me some ups/downs of these combos so I can weigh them out that would be great. Also if it makes a difference I was thinking of swapping in a 6-speed later on.
Thanks,
Mark

Well I would consider a crate engine but I already have access to a 305, 350, and even a 400 so it's really just a matter of rebuilding one for what I want.
