Default FI Stroked 383 or 427 C5R?

I am interested which is a better engine combination for mostly street and occational road track (I seldom drag), for a M6 equiped SS:

a Supercharged (5 pound or so) stroked 383
or
427 C5R

Thanks in advance <img border="0" alt="[hail]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" />

I think NA engines tend to hold up better than FI on road courses most of the time.

My personal prefference would be for the big cube motor, especially a 427 because you then have a 427 SS <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Not that I wouldn't take a blown stroker either, but I think the 427 would be way easier to tune and gives you more linear response/power. Just my thoughts, as I am certainly no expert or anything. Besides, if you go w/ the 427, you can always add a blower later <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
