Looking into an 87-93, 5.0. When I sold mine about 10 years ago, 306, 331's and 347's were the HP motors to have. What's the latest and greatest? What are people using now?

Boost was all the rave 10 years ago. Hellion Turbo's and several brands of SC'ers. A 347 use to get 450hp. 331's about 400. Im trying to find some readers here who have one.
