Advice on Engine... Ok here is the deal.
i'm getting a new procharger so i'm new to forced induction
Any way i've been making my own research on a good motor so after searching and reading, I've decided either to go with 347 Ci or a 370 ci. my aim is to reach 680+ rwhp with a D1.
so I need advices about which one should I decide also with a good budget
also i'm currently running a VRX3 cam: 226/228 .585/.588 113+3 LSA
should I keep this cam or change it to a bigger one ?
last quesion
if I wanna go over 680 rwhp what heads should be getting?
Thanks in advance

A 347 will not have the torque a larger inch motor will, if you are re doing your motor in the car currently check out doing a 382. More inches the better for part throttle torque and drivability.
Depending on the inches and the heads, our cam may work great with it. Its on the large side for a daily driver, but some people like it.
Ive seen results similar to the cam you have, it works pretty well. For a smallish daily cam a 226/230 113 would work great with a blower. I would honestly not change it up, since you already have it.
Depending on the inches you go with, a set of heads can range from $1300 to $3000. For budget head, check out the PRC 2.5 head. For a higher end head, check out the AFR 205 (depending on inches), or the trickflow heads. Both a solid winner.
Either way, a better head will really shine when your going max power.
And dont forget a 3.70 blower pulley
