Default 347 Stroker Build Help

Im gonna be upgrading my 347 Stroker, and was curious as to which H/C/I combo I should use. I dont really want to exceed 6000rpm, but I still want to be runnin in the 11's. What are some suggestions?

Wrong model year thread but you can run 11s with a 347 running a trickflow, holly, or Edlebrock HCI setup. You will need a larger throttle body, fuel system with matching injector and MAF size.

Geez OP, read the Forums and while you do that, let me send you to the pushrod guys.

my shift light is at 6200, so I can catch the gear around 6400-6500, and hold for 6800ish through the beams

It is EFI not carbed. i only want about 6000RPM because i want to try and conserve the life on the block. Daily Driver, Strip/Street car. I apologize for listing this in the wrong section as well, i didnt notice..

What power level do you want to reach? with this 347cuin you can get most any number you would want to get.

It can be as wild or tame as you want it! it all depends on you! we can help point you in the right direction but we need to know, your goal, power what gear are you going to run or running now if it will remain the same etc!
