I was just scoping out this article doing some more research. Looks pretty much what im looking to put together minus the vortec heads, heads probably wont be in my budget however that is working with a bone stock junk yard std bore 350 and a little 142 blower, between my .030 over and the larger 177 blower if i spool her up a little i think i may be able to hit similar numbers. But very excellent dyno chart to show the street-able torque a blower is capable of i think.
Alot of their power is coming from those heads. They flow worlds above any other production iron head (excluding double humps) The larger blower will help, but heads are a big factor. The more air you can get in and out, the more power.

There is nothing wrong with a blown 355, and if thats whats in your budget, then do it. To me, a blower on a 355 would be cooler to look at than a n/a 383 any day.
