Build Dilemma

It's finally come time for me to start purchasing parts; however, my problem appears when it comes time for me to choose an engine build.

I'm definitely going to use a 351W as my base with a supercharger. Now, my two options are a 357 with high boost or a 408 with low boost.

I thought I would come here to hear some seasoned advice from those of you who have personally experienced or talked to very reliable sources about the builds. This is a big money project, and I want to make sure the money is spent wisely.

I want to build this while still keeping the car on the street as a weekend warrior so reliability is an issue. I know limitations exist with such an engine and the desire to keep it streetable which is why I came here - to gain additional information. From the information I have gather, it seems best to run a big hp engine as a base then add a minimal amount of boost since high boost numbers stress out the engine; however, it also seems that by using large strokes, one can run into c/r problems with the addition of boost. I'm very interested to see the kind of ideas and information that will be shared.

Thanks,

What kind of power/torque numbers could I expect from a n/a 427? 408 is the biggest I've looked into so far.

I thought I would add to this post by asking what kind of boost people are running with their compression ratios. I'm interested to see some numbers. Over in the PowerAdder forum, a guy claims to be running 10psi with a 10:1 c/r.
