Im mainly into road racing-Auto Cross, and was wondering what would be better for me? too leave the 302 in there and supercharge it, maybe go to 306, keeping close to the stock bore for durability. Or, should I stroke it to 331 or 347? I already have some pretty good mods and feel that a supercharger would compliment me well, and hopefully get me 350 hp or more, with what I already have (in my signatrue) I like to rev high and and like the idea of a supercharger, and what are the pros and cons of a supercharger if any? or annoying things too deal with? thanks guys. Mike

A supercharger would work well with your current combo. With the proper tuning and fuel mods, expect 450+ hp to the tire and 10 second capability.

I prefer n/a though. I had a blower on my car and pulled it off just before I finished the install. I just did a 347.

For road racing it depends on where you want your power curve. That is the question to consider.

What are the other cars running in your class? Are there any penalties for running boost or over a displacement limit?

This questions reminds me of a shirt I saw a guy wearing at the track. "Getting stroked is fun, but I'd rather be blown". I agree with the shirt.
