CHP vs DSS shortblock

[Grn N Gry 5OH]

wuts up everybody. im lookin at 306 shortblocks. im gonna run a 10:1 cr with a full TFS h/c/i. i was lookin at the CHP Street Fighter and the DSS Pro Bullet 306. ive heard CHP has a warranty but DSS doesnt. almost everybody ive talked to said CHP was better, but yesterday one of my friend's said NOT to get a CHP and get the DSS. i was just wondering of the people who have 306/308's or strokers.......which one would you recommend. the DSS is a lil bit more, but, if theyre better, itd be worth it. any help would be appreciated. thanks

why dont you get the same block as OB

wel the dss stage 10 is ok but still it's a stock block going with a dart might be cheaper in the long run or just go with a 351

Because my BARE BLOCK was pricey as ****.

But it does have 4bolt mains and there's no chance in hell im cracking it.

The FMS r302 and Dart blocks are one in the same.
Same casting, everything.

Edit: It's also about 50-60lbs heavier than the stock 302.

i could upgrade to the level 20 block for a few hundred dollars more for reassurance....cuz i thought about that

are you running the R302 block Kyle, or were you just referring to that for a comparison with Dart ?
