dss pro306 or pro331

[chrismillion]

is spending an extra 500 for the 331 worth it? i got 1500 saved up for the a new block and another 400 for a new convertible top. i'm getting a little impatient cause i'm ready to beef it up. if i knew how to put a convertible top on i could save about 300. so what should i do 306 or 331?

Seems like you might be on a budget so I would get the 306.

budget or not, is it worth it?

 

[mattkimsey]

Do you want 25-35 more horses?

u only have 1500 for a block, that might not be enough.

i would sell those rims to get extra money for a better setup!

you are trying to be funny, but you're not. i got'em and it's over with, point blank!

if you throw on stock heads/cam/intake on a 331 you will not see the full potential without a doubt.

even on a 306, whcih is good for about 20hp.

a 331 can plant down 350rwhp with proper heads cam intake EASILY without trying.

now the question comes...

do you want to run boost later?

dished pistons will cost more and will be best for boosted setups.

flattops are usually standard and dont cost more, but usually are not suited for boost as it raises compression.

I would buy a 331 without a doubt... but would not throw it in the car without new heads/cam/intake or at least something ported.

goodluck dude.

your gonna need a lot to push those dubs son.

word up.

I think its an easy answer, do you want more hp and potenial or no?
(and we're an easy going bunch here so you'll get answers like sell your wheels by the way!)

seriously, if you can be happy at 300 hp then the 306 is the way to go.. if you know this car will last you a while and you love speed then the 331 is the way to go, make sure to get the level 20 block as well if you think boost is in the future..

do you know how much slower those rims make you??

My friend ran a 14.1 in his 03 GT with the stock bullits, then he switched over to 18x9f 18x10r chrome saleens and he ran 14.6. Those rims make you slow as **** .

Please, no one take offense to this:

Why a 331?

Cause I like how 331 looks written out

If you're going to stay with a 302 base block... why not just save a little more and get a 347? Even then I would still strongly consider getting a 351 instead of the little ol' 302.

 

[jetuomi]

you can make about 1.1 hp per CID so 331 has about 10% more power than a 302..

Do u honestly feel (honestly now..) a "level 20" stock block is worth the extra $$ that they just tookk from you?
