Need help choosing new setup for next year...
Well its winter time again and we need to decide on the engine setup for next year. The car is driven 3-4 times a week and raced on the weekends. Since we do all of the tuning race or pump gas is an option.
Setup 1:
346cid forged bottom
AFR 205s possibly hand finished 12.0:1
242/250 XER cam
Fast 90mm intake
NW 90mm TB
Jesel Rockers
It will probably make 500-525rwhp on the motor and 700 to 725 on nitrous.
Option 2:
346cid forged bottom
AFR 205s 9.25-9.4:1
Smaller SC cam + stock rockers
F1r
LS6 intake and ported TB
This setup should make 650-775rwhp.
Looking for different opinions and why.

I would do the N/A 346. I owned a 5.0 mustang with an all out S-trim setup and it really made me hate forced induction... it was really picky and didn't run as consistantly as I thought it should have. I'll be doing a N/A high compression 346 setup very similiar to what you have listed above this winter.
