Default CHP vs DSS shortblock

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

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.

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