What set-up is best for my car???
Can someone help me with a fresh engine combo for my car? I have a procharger at 18psi and 42 lbs injectors, 80mm mass air flow but now I need to know what the best things that are next to come with out blowing a hole in my wallet. I have a 302block and I was thinking of going with a 347stroker or possiblly a 331 if someone has good evidence to change my mind. I want a very fast streetable car. Should I go forged every thing internal. I want this engine to last a while with out problems or having to be pulled back out. Oh yeah I also have a booster pump and a 255pump in tank. Please help me build my car.

Depending on how big you go, your probably gonna need a new block. Forged internals are good, but the blocks limit is only 450 - 500 horse. Depending on how big you go, a blown stroker motor will make more than that, so you'll be in new block territory.

You might want to be a little more specific on what your goals and budget are. "A very fast streetable car" is a relative statement depending on who you are talking to. Some people would say a blown 302 at 18 psi is plenty fast.
