If you already have a forged motor, there is hardly much point stripping the entire thing just to gain a few cubes.
But yes it would give you a low rpm torque increase if that's what you really want. It will not give you any more top end power though, as for the most part that is dictated by the blower.
So options...complete engine stripdown, or simply a bolt on swap for the most part.
Really...cant be that hard of a decision ?
is it generally more power you want, or more low rpm torque ?

Too much midrange torque isn't always a good thing. All it does is blow off the tires if your suspension and tire setup isn't up to the task.
My vote is for the bigger blower if your current motor can handle the increase in boost.

Well my builder/dad has done a ton 383 and he done them at 530-540 hp and 600ftq and that's na so if I get that and then my current blower I should be around 750-800ftq and 725-750hp and that will make me happy cuz that's a good range for hooking the tires to the street and it will still be nice to drive
