What issues do you think i will have?I guess you are saying that because the parts have the DSS name on them right? You have your thoughts of a certain company thats fine,i was just letting the op know that people have had good luck with DSS thats all.

I guess all the guys out there throwing blowers on stock 100,xxx mile motors are better off.I built my motor from the ground up so i would assume i might be in a better position dont you think?

i dont recall saying that one of those engine are better, but if you want to look at engine facts lets look, the chances of a 1xx,xxx engine lasting with a blower on it is pretty good considering the engine is worn in. piston to cylinder wall clearance is greater cause its older, if your engine is fairly new and gapped for N/A your gonna put non neaded stress on your engine, and with the reputation DSS has i wouldnt bet my life on that just my opinion but its a bad idea both ways

Any preference to EFI or carb? I've got a lot more experience with EFI but power wise which is better? I'm sure everyone has their own opinion

FWIW, dss parts are ok. It's their assembly/machining work that most people have problems with. Oh yeah, and their joke of a warranty. Stang9150, you prob won't have any problems because you built your shortblock.

power can be made with both, carb is generally cheaper to do, but EFI will run the same regardless of the weather, car on the other hand isnt gonna like big climate changes
