Getting ready to build 331 or 347. I want it handle 15-20 pounds of boost. What block should I go with. Money is not a issue.

Must be nice..... Make sure you get forged internals, look at some other people with their top end boost set ups.

Dart also makes good blocks.

Go Dart.

331 with that amount of boost.

Lower boost; I would suggest a 347.
