Default 306 or 331

This is my daily driver. Should I go with the 306 ci or 331 stroker. I have Edelbrock Performer heads, TFS intake, rockers, CAI, and shorty headers. I am looking for the best gas mileage possible just like everybody else but will I be more satisfied with the with the HP from the 331 vs the 306? Thanks for checking it out.

I'd have to say if your going to go through the trouble of a rebuild why not just go 331?

The parts won't be that much more expensive and you'd probably be much happier with your car HP wise.

18 and 26 is pretty good for a built 331 in my book.
