347 DRIVEABILITY...any good?

[Pokageek]

Hi guys. Those of you with 347's...hows the low end TQ seat of pants and TQ curve (not dyno) compared to your experience with the 5.0. Big difference? How about HP. Did you notice a significant difference? or do you wish you went bigger?

What about the FEEL of a "stroker" compared to like a LT1 or LS1? Does the longer stroke make it rev slower? What's the difference in feel? Thx.

EDIT; I just realized that I asked this question b4 but I have been going thru so many scenarios that I forgot. Sorry.

The TQ is excellent and the power works for me. Its obviously much less than when I had the 302 with bolt on's and 12psi from the Vortech. The 347 is much more driveability friendly then the supercharged combo. I love the fact that I can get in it, beat on it and get out of it. Just couldn't do it with the blower. Very finicky and each day brought up new issues. Sure sometimes I wish I had did a 408 but then I realize I have to stop some where. It's been a year with the 347 and still happy.

are you thinking of going efi or carb setup 347?

I have a 331...so it's close to the 347. I can tell you that it feels so much better just driving it. SOTP feel is awesome and it definately makes more torque.

Like mentioned before, Its nice to just beat on it and not worry about it. Motor cars are FTW!
