I don't know much about 383 prices.

I would caution you about HP from the group I hang with. There are not many under 500HP. And some are over 1000 HP.

Simple fix son, just look them in the eye and say "obviously you have confused me with someone who gives a s@*t what you think". That usually ends the conversation and you will feel so much better.

Ok but here is my thinking if I go forced induction I'm looking at another
5,000 to 7,000 dollars.... That puts the car that I currently own we'll over the market value
That's why I went down to Houston to look at a C6 putting more money into a newer Vette makes more since
But with mine being paid for that makes more since also ??
John told me to try and find a low mileage base car (c6) and put the money into that ? Do the forced air induction and be done with it
