Default Best bang for buck?

I'll be rolling 165k miles on my car this weekend and thinkin about a rebuild soon!
Just stuck between a 355 with 10 pounds of boost or a 383 with a cc306 or bigger custom cam with maybe a 150 shot.
So I was just wondering if anyone had any advice as to which I should do. It will be a weekend car but lookin for it to be somewhat reliable. And no I don't want it to be a 383 turbo car lol
thanks Adam

I love boosted cars but the cost a ******* ton. The 383 with juice would run faster ET's for less money. But if your bottle is empty.....

I would go for the FI motor if you want the power all the time. If you can live with 40-50 more HP than what you have and a boost to go down the track build the 383.
