Default Best for Daily Driver, 347 or 370?

Well just purchased a turbo kit from OFI and was wondering what would be the best set up for a daily driver? I plan on running a nasty performance fuel system. The only reason I'm asking is because this is my everyday car and I need it to be reliable but still be able to make 700 plus hp at the push of the throttle?

370 will get you there a little easier. Only down side really is weight of the iron block. What turbo do you plan on using?

I will be running g a tc76 with 60 lb injectors. I am getting the base kit. Would this size turbo be ok for a 383?

A 346 with a 4.0 stroke crank makes for a great combination, we've done quite a few of them. Bob

I agree but you will be limited with that turbo and a 383. Like already said, the 370 is the easiest and probably toughest but you have to deal with the extra weight. Thats what I decided on doing but now I am selling it before I even had a change to try it out

More cubes are defiantly only going to hurt power on that turbo.
