I voted big chot!! I just did something similar. Went from a tr224 and a 100 shot to a 234/240 and setup for a 250-300 shot. 347 cu in but I see no reason to change the way I'd build the 408. Except for the cam of course. I dont see a reason to not build it to take a big shot.

how much power do you actually loose setting up the motor for spray, i thought it wasnt to much of a difference in a motor can and a grind meant for spray.
depending how much money ill have, i want to go with a forged shortblock over winter, and i plan on spraying at least a 200 shot, so ill have the rings gapped for spray and ill figure out what cam ill be going with

yes i understand that part, but he is referring to the cam, how much power can you actually lose by having the cam ground for juice than for just n/a power.
what do you consider a big shot, i want 200 shot next year and that doesnt seem to be on the large side imo.
from reading other posts, people say grind your cam for n/a, since thats how your car is going to be driven 98% of the time (if its a street car). i heard pretty much any cam is good for a healthy shot. i have read that you should really only get a spray cam if you around a 300 shot or more.
i guess it depends on what you mean by a big shot. im just stating what ive read on other posts, so i guess im just tryingto learn
