A good h/c/i blown car is going to run quicker, all else being equal.

A good h/c/i 347 is something nice as well. Probably a little less "hiccups" to mess with as well...

i dont know what you mean by "better", but you can bet the h/c/i car with a blower will out run the 347

Neither

They are just different

Circumstances could make one more preferable to the other

I'm with Grady on this one, kind of like a question that should be approached VERY differently.

I guess the real question is "Better for what?"

Exactly

Look at my sig combo and consider it has just 50K miles
so
The block is fairly tight and fresh
so
I see it as practical to use the OEM block

Considering all that ... a blower at low boost could be very practical ... For Me

Now ... Say I had a high mileage motor with just a few minor bolt ons
but
Nothing like the aftermarket stuff I now got

Then ... You Bet

An all motor 347 would be on the short list
or
Maybe ... a fresh 302-306 with a blower

See where I'm going here?
as I currently am ...
Most of my combo would be too small if I decided to go 347
and
I'm not a good candidate for a high boost setup

Hey ... Its all about application
and
That application can be influenced by ... circumstances

:Word:

a centrifugal supercharger on an otherwise stock gives good drivability because at low rpms, it is essentially stock, but at high rpms, the boost kicks in and you get an extra kick in the pants. also, the stock cam is actually pretty good for superchargers because it has little (if any) overlap

A forged 331 with a H/C/I and a 150 wet shot of nitrous..Maybe a plate kit that sits between the upper and lower intake...with a 31 spline rear...

Tom - Personally, I would go with an N/A combination in this case for a daily driver.

IMHO ... As time passes ... David just seems to be posting stuff that becomes
more and more practical

I agree 100%

Tom

I'm gonna tell you something you may not want to hear

As long as you have ONLY your Stang for a DD .....

You would be wise to not go TOO radical with your plans :Word:

I have t tell you guys though.. I had a custom turbo'd miata 4cyl and it rocked out!(started out as wife's car). Having a blown or TC V8 must be rediculous gforce in the drivers seat.

Since you're wanting driveability, I would go with the blown 306. It will also be a little more fun to drive if you do autocross or open track days cuz it will rev better.
If you want a street/strip, I would go with the 347 for more torque.
Personally, the blown 306 sounds kick a$$ to me
