Question What bottom end should I do ???

I have a procharger on my LT-1 and I was wondering if it I should make it a 383 or 355.. Which one would work and be more driver friendly with the blower? Any info will help ...Thanks

Well... Tell us more info, what are your goals and what do you want out of your car? What fuel will you be running? Meth?

Bottom end? Forge it.

How deep are your pockets? The 355 will require less machine work and you can still use the stock crank which is good to about ~650hp, fro what I've been told. 383 will giveyou more torque, but will require a new crank, regardless, and clearancing the block. can't go wrong either way, really.
