GM847 396 LT1 Build

[Badbird_96]

No offense taken lol thats why im asking yall. I know what i would like to do and thats going supercharged but what im really wondering is if its worth the hassle or just sticking n/a. Thats what im having trouble deciding on. I had decided to go n/a thats why i posted those specs and asked about it but i had originally wanted the supercharger. I just dont know if it would be better to go which way. I think i would have better luck and reliability going n/a but i love the sound of a s/c, especially with a big cam. Let me ask this. If you had a really built formula that burnt and you got this ws6 which is a nicer car but so much slower what would you build to fix it?

(Btw im not being a jerk if it comes off that way lol just couldnt think of another way to word it. I just really need some info on what would be best for my build.)

Oh and as for what im planning on doing with the car cause im sure thats the first thing someone will ask lol, im planning on mainly just driving it maybe a little drag and road course action but im one of those people who likes having a fast daily driver lol.

Oh and im gonna tell yall what i was told was done to my formula when i got it and see if that would be an option. I was told the car had a 380hp crate lt1 bored 30 and had the heads shaved 20. It supposedly had a 1200ft lb racing clutch and 3.73 gears. It still had factory exhaust and everything else. I was told it ran 8.5s in the 1/8. I dunno cause i worked 2nds and never got to run it but my buddies ls1 ss ran 8.9s and i walked him in it lol. Basically i want something faster than that so i can hold my own against ls1 cars. Any ideas?

A supercharged 383 done right will cost you twice as much as a N/A LT1.

Speaking from experience, there isn't much that can touch a 455whp N/A stroker. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing.

^^ What he said. I was originally planning a built 396 N/A, and my budget for everything (including full driveline, suspension, etc) was about 13K.
I decided to go 383 S/C, caught pretty good deals on almost everything I bought, and I'm up to $25K. All I have left is $600 worth of dyno tuning.

a 455RWHP stroker would be sweet, I can guarantee that. I haven't driven a small block stroker, but I've driven a few big block camaros and chevelles with 450-650 RWHP, and there's nothing like a huge N/A motor.
