What kind of duration on the cam and what blower?

Hey Rich, Sorry it took a while to get back to ya, My blower is a V2 S-Trim, not a V-trim like I thought. I just looked up my cam specs, its the Crane 214/222 blower cam. You might be the best person to fully answer my question I originally posted. Should I stick with the blower and do a stroker 383, along with ported heads, or just stick to the heads and more boost? I'm looking for more low-end torque either way and a bit more high-end HP &torque. Lastly, if i do a 383 can I keep some of the forged internals from my current setup and just swap out some of them to make the stroker complete. Anyone chime in on these questions. I wanna know well in advance so I plan ahead for things.

You aren't going to see much difference between a 383 and a 355 all else being equal. The place to put money is the heads, at this point. You cam is going to peak at around 5,700rpm. Pulley the blower to max out at there or 6,000rpm at most and you will be seeing boost as low as 2,000rpm.

Rich, thanks for the insight. Can I still add my 12lb boost pulley on as well as get the max psi out of the blower at a lower rpm? Right now my literature says the blower maxes out at 6100 rpm at 11psi. The crank pulley is 6.66'' while the blower pulley is 3.33''.
