With the stock 71.00 cc head with a compression ration of 9.4 you will be fine as long as the tune is there.
The pistons used in our 347 special are 2618 material and the supporting parts are stout. It will all rely in your tune.

I daily drive a 9.3:1 CR motor in my truck, 12 psi. Good rods and pistons, stock crank.
~11.3:1 A/F, I'm only getting about 15° into it through peak torque. But that's on the winter blended fuel
Summer fuel takes a bit more timing even with the higher IAT's.

or would i be better off getting purpose built shortblock with a stock crank? or sell it and do a 408 setup. i just dont know what i want to do, i want a reliable setup i can just jump in and go run 10's and drive it home. turbos are cool but ive had nothing but trouble out of it since ive been trying it out.

well if some one makes a hit on it before the moring i will. i dont know what to do really. it hard to find a mix between dependability and reliability and everything. looks like im goin to call w2w tommorow if i dont change my mind again. just not sure what will turn out best for me.
See it through, **** happens. Look I've been hacking away at my turbo set up for over a year. I installed the pham set up in march of last year and now its march of this year and its still not putting down the power that the ATI set up produced.
Do I regret going turbo....yeah a lil, especially when the procharger set up was working fine. But i'll keep working at it because it WILL hopefully put me into the 10's soon.
I know you've had the car down for awhile, but get the W2W set up, i'm sure you won't be disappointed, have someone tune it real good and enjoy it.
