stroked or charged?

I got a buddy that wants to trade me his 383 stroker for my whipple charged 350 in my tahoe. would you do it?

umm depends how good the 383 is built..

keep the blown motor, same hp but better gas mileage

I would stay with your motor, charged is cooler, and you know the history and kind of work on your motor better than anything else

what do you want? instant power or delayed power? All motor apps you can feel it in the foot, boosted apps, you cant. When we had our 03 cobra, you didnt feel the boost, you just heard it.. drive my friends fully built GT and it was totally different type of mean and the cobra still ran better and dynoed higher.

just from personal experience id stay with the blown motor youve got power on reserve and youll have less problems from the blower than the stroker because the internals on tho engine have been messed with and you can put about $1500 more into the blown engine and make it a beast off the line and in a stretch let me know if you want any pointers on engine mods for the 350

If I were goin for power I'd go with the stroker..but I'm more about looks, so I'd keep the supercharger..a stroker motor looks the same on the outside as a regular 350..so at a show no-one will know you have a badass engine..but if you have a stock 350 with a supercharger everyone will expect that it is badass..

Pull your 350 and stroke it to a 383 and keep your super charger, lol. But really as long as the 383 was built by someone who knew what they were doing I wouldn't worry about the internals. Your not going to get super gas mileage with the stroker but you'll have plenty of torque on tap.

i would stay with the blower,looks kooler and they sound badass

I agree with both side, but the reason i was leaning towards the stroker because if i do that, i get to do away with the miles and miles of friggin wires and computer and fuse box on the drivers side fender. anyone who as ever done an 88-98 chevy knows what i am talkin bout.
