This thread is awesome. Thanks for the experience, guys. This is why my current project build is a 408 that'll be strong NA, which means even stronger on the bottle, and will run forever.

blowers really are fun and with N2O even more so, but theres something to be said for a strong badazz NA motor as well. Got mine all installed and just waiting on the kooks headers which will be here tomarrow, 427 cubic inches of terror lol.

do superchargers have the same "feel" as a NA motor?

Im still debating on a 402 with roughly 520-535rwhp or a Procharged & forged 347 with stock 6.0 heads, mild blower cam and boltons and would like to see 600-630rwhp. Good thread!

347, 6.0 heads, MILD blower cam... 550-600 unless you really push it beyond "mild".

Yeah when i had my supercharged motors they were strong but they felt like a really strong NA motor especially being an centri unit havent tried a maggie or twin screw on one of these yet. But personally I think a big cube NA motor will be fun and fast and if I need a bit more add a little gogo juice.

Next season it's getting forged and a 200 shot. I've been lightening it up in the meantime.. just want to see how fast a budget 346 can go on a small shot!
You should sell your GN to me
