Question Opinion's on what short block?

I want to do my short block over i just want to know what you guys think i should have built a 355 or a 383 i really want to keep my blower i love it...but i heard i wouldnt be able to use it with a 383
so i guess i will have to stay with a 355 now i need to know what CAM and if i need to change injectors i really would like a bulletproof bottom end to live with my supercharger and maybe a 75 shot of juice any opinions please

"wouldnt be able to use it with a 383" WTF

building a stroker to me comes down to 2 things, ones budget and ones ultimate goal for the car!

what are your plans for the car?

Lemme guess, getting blow by after running blower on stock short block? I got about 4k miles with my Powerdyne before I was getting smoke out of the breather on my 75k stock short block. I ditched the blower and went the N/A route. Motors are expensive, I couldn't afford to lose another.
Just my 2 cents.

Powerdynes are "light duty" blowers, not good for high boost. I'd say 9 psi max. (I assume you have the BD-11)
If your gonna build a low compression short block for high boost, go for a Vortech.
