well i heard that u cant do any additional upgrades to the 347, like a supercharger or turbo. so i decided to do a 331 just in case later if i need more power i still have that option. lol

you can do anything to a 347 with a high quality kit and not some off the shelf stroker kit... quality of parts is something to pay attention too...

There is a person on here that has well over a 300 shot of nitrous on his 347....

idk. thats wat i said but a few people said that the 347 is naturally aspirated. so idk. plus they said that the 331 option is the best bang for the buck. especially if i want to keep pump gas, etc.

a 347 stroker wont make high compression unless you have small cc combustion chambers in the heads... and the aspirated and naturally aspirated has nothing to do with the stroker kit, if your motor is just all motor no power adder then it is naturally aspirated and if you have a blower or turbo then it is aspirated...

Good luck cojack. Weather you go 331 or 347, you will enjoy the extra low end torque and quick throttle response.

I'd go with a 331 stroker if you want to boost/spray it later. 347s get really stressed out with boost, specially if its a stock block. I'd get a 347 stroker if it was a Man O' war block or something. I'm going with turbo, so I'm stroking my block to a 331, the block is weak as it is, I want to keep as much meat on the walls as possible until I can afford the $4K block tag. But then again its your car
